panel edging query
I have a panel in our campervan that always catches as we get in or out, and the edging is breaking away. Given its location, it always will, so I'm wondering if there exists any sort of capping edge, as per my diagram, held on by screws if necessary?

it will be a frustrating job but strip all of it off. Use a hot air gun/wifes iron and a flat scraper, get rid of all the glue (not easy) then sand down and paint.
been there done that very happy with results. In fact Ive done it 3 times for different people.I would love to grow my own food, but I can not find bacon seeds

What Tonyz said, or you could apply fresh hot melt pre-glued edge banding with a clothes iron instead of painting.
If you're set on metal: Retro Metal Banding | Table Banding | Metal Edging | . Don't know how you'd go bending those profiles, and especially a C channel like you've illustrated, yourself. Might need to be professionally pre-formed by someone with the correct equipment.

A lot depends on panel thickness and the desired result. I remember a lot of early caravans had a laminex table that used to fold down as the bed, the top was edged with an aluminium strip screwed in place.
Appears to still be available.
