Hi Chris,
You can make old fashioned wallpaper paste with wheat flour, sugar & water. I was surprised to see the sugar because I'd be concerned that it would draw ants, but a lot of the recipes that I found use it. Click here for that recipe. I also did find one that uses cornstarch. Click here for that one. Look at both of them and decide which one you want to use. Wishing you the best.
Why do you want to do that?
i've been in many campers....orange and green any one? oversize daisys?
Just buy prepasted wallpaper. Soak it in water, book it, and put it up.
Wall paper paste isn't that expensive and absolutely worth the expense since it is key to both adherence of the paper and to keep the paper looking good for many years. When you factor in the cost of wall paper and your time installing it, the cost of paste is not very high.
You can get prepasted wallpaper! You just get it wet to activate the paste. If you already have the paper and it’s a small area, you could try rubber cement, if you have some.
