Found this on the NGPP (National Guild of Professional Paperhangers)
I am a paper hanger and Rv owner that redid the complete interior of our MH. Normally in rv's they have 1/8" plywood with a vinyl coating bonded to it. Over time the vinyl began to come loose from the plywood, so I peeling as much away as possible. (heat gun helps) I also removed as much stuff from the inside so there would fewest visible things to trim around. I used a good textured vinyl 27" goods and vov adhesive. Everything is holding up well for 4 years now. I also removed the strips that covers the seams in the sheets and the corner mouldings and just went over them. Since these are moving boxes down the road things move, I have one joint where you can tell it has stretched a small amount. Others that have seen it were really impressed as was I, it really classed up our home away from home.
Many rvers have painted over the wallboard with great success. One fifth wheel owner on rv.net did a fantastic makeover using paint.
