How difficult is it to change out the wallpaper in a TT?

Has anyone tried to do this? We would love to make it more uniquely ours.

I talked to someone who changed the border on their TT. They sanded the border lightly and than added some Elmer's Glue to the wall paper paste. Not the school glue.
They moved and I no longer have their address or phone number so I cannot check to see if it lasted more then the few years I know about.

As others have said, at best you could cover it up - not remove it. IMO, wall paper wouldn't hold up well - wall paper glue isn't designed to handle the moisture, heat, and cold in the interior of the trailer when it's in storage. (My parents used to use wall paper in the bathrooms of a rental property, and it would typically last a couple years before it started coming off and had to be replaced.) Paint would work, but IMO just makes it look like you've covered up something (a problem) rather than trying to just make it more unique.

Buy one with an interior you can live with up front. Trying to Re do the interior of a new unit can be an uphill battle as mentioned above

One of the reasons I chose Open Range was the interior scheme.

If you do try and change the wall covering do it in a small area first as suggested and see how it holds up. A TT is a pretty hostile environment with temperature and humidity extremes that may not be tolerated well by products made for regular indoor use.

The wallboard comes with a pattern on it, you would have to paper over it. Try a small area because it may have a light finish on it that could prevent paper from sticking. The wallpaper border that is in quite a few RV's, I would be very careful trying to remove it. You could damage the wallboard. I would also think about when you tire of the new paper, how are you going to remove it without any damage? ?//

It isn't wallpaper.
It is paneling with the pattern bonded to it from the factory.
You cannot peel it off to change it. All you can do is cover it up with something else.
