Rent a wallpaper steamer from a construction rental company. Take 60 or 80 grit sandpaper to the wallpaper to break the vinyl surface. Then use the steamer with or without glue dissolver to remove the wallpaper. Steam, and using a putty knife remove paper. I did a 11x12' floor to ceiling room in 2 hours.
