RV Renovation – 22 best peel-and-stick wallpapers for RVs
Peel-and-stick wallpapers for RVs – if you are looking for a simple and fast RV renovation tip use the recommended 22 best peel-and-stick wallpapers for RVs.
You love looking at updated RVs but you don’t like to paint?
You are looking for a fast and easy way to add a little color and texture to your Camper?
Here is an easy solution for you:
A fast way to add more color and texture to your RV is to use peel-and-stick wallpaper. You can add it as a backsplash, use it to cover the glass inserts in your cabinets, or cover a whole wall easily. It is also cheap because Camper walls are not big and one roll of wallpaper goes a long way.
It is that simple.
This is definitely the easiest and most effective way to add an accent wall in your Camper without the mess of painting. Also, if you choose to add the wallpaper on a wall without a window (meaning without needing to make cutouts), you can finish this project in not even an hour or less.
Just be sure to pick an easy-to-use wallpaper with a simple pattern because walls in RVs are not straight.
Therefore using geometrical wallpaper on a large wall with lots of cutouts, makes it challenging.
The best 22 wallpapers to use in an RV have no, or very little pattern repeat, which makes it super easy to apply.

How about a mural or a bigger pattern to add some color to your RV? There are so many more pretty options, just pick the one that fits your RV and your color scheme.
Remove the wallpaper border first
If your RV has a wallpaper border, remove it. In most cases, you can just peel it off. In some cases, it will stick and is hard to remove. Then use warm water with a little detergent and apply it with a sponge on the border. Don’t make it too wet. You don’t want the wallpaper to come off too, just the wallpaper border.
Wipe over the wallpaper border a couple of times and then try to remove it again. It should come off now.
How do you apply wallpaper to a wall if you have never done it before? Here are the steps you need to take:
How to install peel-and-stick wallpapers in an RV?
It is actually pretty simple because the walls are not huge.
- First, you clean the wall. Make sure there is no dust or grease on the wall. Wipe it down with a damp cloth and with warm water and a little detergent.
- Wipe over the wall again and make sure there is no detergent left over. Do not use a lot of water because you don’t want to remove the wallpaper.
- Let the wall completely dry.
- Measure the height of the wall and add 2 inches to it.
- Transfer the measure onto the panel and draw a straight line using the level.
- Cut the panel using scissors.
- Start on top of the wall. If you don’t want to start all the way on top, make a straight line where your starting point is.
- Also, make a straight line with a level on one side to be sure the wallpaper is straight.
- Remove about 10 inches of the backing paper and stick the wallpaper at your starting point.
- Smooth the wallpaper down from the middle out in order to avoid wrinkles.
- Then slowly remove the next 10 inches of backing paper.
- Repeat until you are done.
- Use a clean cloth and wipe over the wallpaper again to make sure it adheres well to the wall.
- The wallpaper that is too long on the bottom of the wall has to be cut off.
- Use a utility knife to cut the wallpaper straight at the bottom of the wall.

do I need to remove current wallpaper if its on secure now?
No you don’t need to remove your current wallpaper. But clean the walls before you add the peel and stick so it stays on the walls.
Thank you for this post with all of the good info. One thing I cannot find an answer to – what do you do with the trim pieces tacked in the corners? My bathroom has patterned wallboard with matching trim sealing the corner seams. Do you leave those and wallpaper over them? I am worried that the corners may rip when the RV is moving. Thank you for any advice!
Hi MJ, thank you for your reply. I didn’t wallpaper over the corner seams because I had trouble before to keep the wallpaper in place. There is a picture in the article where you can see it well. Hope it helps.
