Default Inside wall covering coming loose

We have a 2008 22ft Towlite. The inside vinyl covering on the bathroom upper wall over the storage box is coming loose and bubbling up. Does anyone know how to repair that? What kind of material is that glued to? Thanks, Bob

Not sure about the 2008 but in my 88 it is very thin plywood. By 2008 they may have gone to the masonite board. In either manner, as long as the wood underneath isn't damaged, I would use some contact cement and it will never come loose again. Peel it down, coat both sides with contact cement using a disposable brush. Let it dry a few minutes, then starting at the area that is still stuck, use a taping knife (like you would use for taping sheetrock seams) and push it back into position gently but firmly working from the center out. make sure you don't wrinkle it as the contact cement sticks instantly and you can't peel it back down once it's stuck.

Default Reglue wallpaper down

Misfit gave you some good tips. On my 1990 I used elmers wood glue. I was able to reposition if necessary. The wallpaper tends to dry out with age.

Elmers is a much more forgiving glue for sure. Contact cement is what you use to glue formica to the base wood on countertops. Super strong and extremely flat so if you do it right it will be a completely flat wrinkle free repair. My wallpaper was outdated and walls had tons of screw holes so I just caulked all the holes and painted the entire inside.
