Wallpaper boarder removed

[gregrc75]

Did another mod today to my Bullet Premier 28RLPR. I am not a huge fan of the fabric patterns and the "loud" wallpaper boarder. A friend of mine just purchased a Sunset Trail Reserve TT and instead of a wallpaper border, it had a wood border or chair-rail. It looks very nice and it got me thinking about copying the idea in my Premier. Well, today I decided to do it. I found some prefinished molding at Home Depot and it is nearly a perfect match in stain color. SO, for about 22.00 in molding and a tube of liquid nails, it was done! The wall paper boarder is more like a vinyl sticker. It came off very easily by heating it with a hairdryer and pulling it. Here are the pics

Looks nice

Hi Little Guy,
I've been wanting to do this but would like to leave it plain. Was there a lot of goo or a seam underneath the wallpaper border?

Hi Julie,

None at all. It came off completely clean. Most of it came off in one strip. Where it met windows I used a knife to score it before pulling it. It looks like the wallpaper went under the window frame. Here is a pic without the border:

I know what you mean! I worry that in ten years our rig will look like it came out of a time warp!

thanks Greg...its days are numbered!

Is there any possible way that members who do these great-looking mods can keep their before and after pics hidden from the the eyes of wives?
I am thinking about incorporating a "Delete Mod Photos" option into the forum so that all of the hard-working husbands are not subjected to looking at another "HoneyDo" list made up by their DW's.
Hey, I can always use my Moderator's option of deleting the whole thread . Or I could always close it to prevent more people from ooohing and awwwwing about this mod.
On second thought, perhaps this isn't such a great idea in this case as everyone replying to this thread thinks that this mod is simply marvelous - which it is.
Thankfully in my case, our paper border doesn't look quite so garish and fits in quite nicely with the rest of the decor. Now, all I have to do is convince my wife that it looks just fine as is.

Haha dont do that! I need the confirmation that I am not wasting my money foolishly with my mods!

We're going to look into doing this to our new Springdale TT. I want to do mods to lighten up the enterior and make it our own.

That is one MAN'S opinion. I wonder what your DW will say????
Personally I think it makes the area look bigger and I like it. BUT! I am as lazy as Festus2 and my DW will never see this thread.

HA, my bf is safe with mods. I don't ask him to do remodeling. Aren't I nice (giggle).

He could do it, but I have seen some guys get really into it and I have held my breath, so he likes our rig the way it is. yeahhhhh. (so far)

[curlyfungirl]

Does anyone know who comes up with the garrish fabric choices? They are pretty bad.

Back in the old days trailers were decorated with pheasants, bass and ten point bucks. Then Mama figured she should come along to see what the big deal was with this camping thing. ... She liked it ...... thus the garish fabrics and fancy thing-a-ma-bobs.

Only kidding ladies ... honest!

Now, are you saying that some guys really get into modifying their RVs and don't know when to stop?

Now, I wonder who that would be?

I have no idea .... Oh Lord of the underbelly.

[michol02]

You stop doing mods long enough to buy a new rig and start all over again. That's how it works......right? LOL

This mod is 1st on my list to do in our Springdale. Our trailer's color scheme is so dark that we want to lighten it up by making slipcovers for the dinette & sofa pillows. Taking off the ugly, dark boarder will lighten it up too.

Thanks for posting.
