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

Wallpaper put up with standard wallpaper glue will not hold up. The first rainy or even humid day and the paper will come down in the same sheets it went up in. I know this because I did a repair on our pop-up (many moons ago) ceiling where there was water damage. The paper lasted about a week.

Wow!!! Thanks, all! I got the message loud and clear! No changing wall paper! : )

If we find a used one that needs redecorating...paint indeed!


BTW....I do not see that I am senior status...it says, "full member."

There is a technique using fabric and starch to "wallpaper"
It is also not difficult to remove
There are lots of links online for how to.

What a fabulous idea!! We will keep that in mind!!

One thing I did to add some color and personalization to the blah beige walls that came in my TT, was print poster size versions of some of my favorite pics from previous trips... a sunset on Mississippi River, a lake with trees reflecting in it, a path in garden with azaleas blooming. Since my upholstery has burgundy spots, I chose pictures that had reds/burgundies in them (at least some). those pictures also had greens allowing me to introduce another color for accessories. I put posters in inexpensive frames (the kind that have plastic instead of glass) and hung with command pictures hangers. by ordering prints when Walgreens had a deal and buying frames on sale, I spent much less than what paint or wallpaper would have cost... and if I decide to change, it is simple to insert a new print.. or move to another RV.

I was pointed to this topic by another member...thanks...

We're in the process of repairing our bedroom interior:

Our interior repair

Pretty much decided to go with Luan plywood on top of our foam insulation.

Anyone here tried the hardboard from Lowes? Maybe hardboard over the Luan?

Or is 'paint' the only viable option for me--being a 'weekend-warrior'...

The older RV's had wood veneer paneling for walls. Our Suite is partially wood and partially the wallpaper wall board. I've often thought, some day we may upgrade to all wood.

If I was to paint one, I'd probably use exterior rated paint.
