LIfe with a cat! Not that it helps, but he wants to be in the room with you ~ not outside the door. A cat wants what a cat wants! Either succumb or suffer the consequences.
My cats have something they are allowed to scratch on in every room except bathroom and kitchen. I have had those cheap little cardboard scratching pads for decades, as well as a floor-to-ceiling cat tree and scratching post with bed on top. Tiny scratching posts are for wee kittens. A cat must be able to stretch high while scratching; that’s how they mark their territory and indicate how big they are.
One of ours just kept acting up- scratching, even with numerous post around, spraying the walls, so we tried those Feliway diffusers you plug into the wall. She’s so much more mellow now. No more misbehaving.

Our trailer was new when we moved in, not much more than 5 years ago
There may be a few places that look new, probably have to move some stuff to find them

Queen of Denial, Mandy? A cat at one year old is not a “kitten”. Tsk, tsk! :-)

Way past time for a scratching post, but try one anyway.

My cats have reduced my canvas office chair down to the wood frame…and the large scratching post remains untouched!

There might have to be a name change from Ric to Destructo.

Ric needs some catnip mice to play with. That way, he won’t destroy everything else.
