Does anyone know how to take the strips off of trailer walls?

And how I should treat them afterwards?

The strips cover the seams of the wall panels. Use gloves and eye protection. To remove them, use a box knife and carefully score both sides of the strips to break the seal against the wall. Take a putty knife, slip it behind the strips and wall (you may need a hammer), and gently pry the strips the strips off. Watch out for nails. To seal the joints use fiberglass mesh drywall tape on the joints ( its sticky). Put on drywall patching compound over the tape and joint. Try to get a smooth coat on. Let it dry overnight. Next day lightly sand to smooth and feather out the joint with the wall. Patch any ridges or low spots. Let that dry. Then sand to smooth out.
Good answer above...I have never had an issue taking them off...they pretty much just pop up with a 7 way or putty knife....particle board/paper crap
