I ended up having to replace my bathtub due to a couple of big cracks in it. Now I need to find a piece of the rounded outside corner moulding and some of the decorative luan that matches. Does anyone have any ideas where I might find either of these? If I have to I can put plain luan and paint it but I REALLY need the corner moulding.

MJ, did you try the supplier and/or manufacturer of your replacement tub?
The tub, as you well know, is not an off the shelf item available at HD. As the tub is a special use (read expensive) item, they may have the corner moulding or be able to direct you to a supplier.
Maybe.

Sorry,  I should have been more clear.  In order to replace the tub I had to rip out the wall in front of it. I have the tub all replaced and usable.  But I have no wall in front of it,  just the framing.  I am needing the oak looking Luann and corner moulding to replace the wall.

is the corner molding wood or plastic? if it's wood you simply need a bull nose corner, available at most home improvement stores, note you may need to cut the width of the molding down as house stuff is usually wider than RV casings! as far as oak looking luan, you can get 1/4". (which is more narrow than that, thanks to the plywood coming out of Canukistan being metric), stain to match.

Where is Canukistan?  Never heard of it..............

The moulding is plastic and snaps into the corner, I was thinking all these older models were basically made the same. Guess I was wrong again. The luan needs to be 1/8" . This is the stuff I need but after I ordered it I was informed it was discontinued. https://www.jmsonline.net/custom-vinyl-s-1-8x4x8-high-ridge-oak-cvl-18x4x8hro.htm/

Hello MJ. A wood product that is 1/8" and available at most building supplies is sometimes sold as either Meranti:

or door skins:

Generally available in both 36 x 80 and 48 x 96. It is sandable with care, suggest 220 grit as the most coarse. Just avoid over sanding. Stain with the grain, same for varnish/urethane until the fibres are sealed.
It is commonly various degrees of a red color, but if you cull thru you should find some lighter ones that can be stained to emulate oak (to a degree). In a stand alone area you should be able to get away with a slight difference.

As for the corner mould, many companies used a variation of 'gimp'.
Here are a couple:

Best wishes from Canada. Hope you all are doing well. Haven't heard from you for a while.

Thank you Terry. The moulding I need is like a hard plastic 1/2 circle. With a tab on the backside that snaps in between the 2 walls  I wish I could take a picture of it but we had to destroy it to get it off.  It is the same oak design as the wall. I haven't been able to figure out the name of it too find anything similar online

Is it subject to bath water - getting wet?

OK if you look at the cabinet closely, the corner of that cabinet has the molding I need

According to the parts catalog for your motorhome, the part you are looking for is 009809-08-000. If you look on page 138 of the Winnebago Catalog,  https://winnebagoind.com/resources/manuals/pdfs/Winnebago_Catalog.pdf  you will find the trim pieces. If you look around that page and the next one, you will find several different styles. Now, if it is still available, that is anyone's guess.

Winnebago has gotten very, VERY, VERY, proud of their stuff lately! I called about a gas filler door that was about 50.00 a couple years ago, it is now 150.00!!!!!!! And that is just the door, the inner piece that used to come with it is now sold separately for another 75.00!
