Want to redo walls in a doublewide home

Kelly
by Kelly
How do I go about removing the strips that are every few feet on the paneled ugly walls, and fill whatever is behind those strips to either paint or wallpaper, to lessen that "trailer" look?
These strips hold "trailer" paneling together: I want them eliminated so I can paint and paper-what to do?

    Strips are usually easy to remove just tacked on, then fill with the joints with filler (putty, Spackle, Sheetrock mud), sand and paint. I would suggest a texture finish as it would hide the texture of wallpaper and blend better with Spackled area, or wall-paper(not my favorite choice)

    Start out with Mr. Wyndam's advice and then have someone use a hopper and texturize and you can paint over for color or leave white for that shabby chic look..I know, I have it in my modular home. the small bath is last to get a make over..lol
