Successful advice on how to paint the inside of a 2005 travel trailer?

It has what appears to be some kind of sealed wall cover. Can I just make sure it is secured in corners and then use primer and then my paint? Any cautions?

  • Paint as you would in any other structure, wash the walls, let dry, put down drop cloths, open all the windows and paint away. I would try a test patch first as the "covering" they use in most RV's is akin to industrial strength contact paper. You will be happy you took the effort in the end though! Happy travels!

    IF it isn't contact paper/vinyl coating...it may be a clear plastic coating that was applied to prevent moisture build up & absorption by the wall by the paneling manufacturer. I would contact the company & find out what the surface consists of & go from there...you don't want to have wasted time & materials & have it peel off.
