Default Painting the walls

We just purchased a 2002 Towlite a few weeks ago and I'd like to paint the walls and spruce things up inside. Does anyone have any tips, tricks or experience removing the wallpaper? There are some parts of ours that has wrinkled and it almost feels like vinyl wallpaper....? Any help or tips would be appreciated!

Default Painting the walls.

Do a test spot to see how easy or hard to scrape the wall paper off. Rough the walls up with sand paper. Clean the dust off. Use a good quality paint with primmer included. Search for other threads where painting has been done. On my 1990 HiLo Classic I had some wrinkled wall paper. The glue seems to have dried out. My brother retired from PPG as a research chemist. He said buy what ever paint is on sale.I like Sherwin paints and primers. They have many primers for problem areas.

On my 1990 Hi-Lo I used a big hair dryer to warm up the paper as I pulled it off. It was actually on the ceiling and was more of a stretchy vinyl than paper. Once off, I primed and then painted the panels blue. Was easy and did not take a lot of time. The heat was the trick.
