Wrinkled Wallpaper

[backwater4]

Is there a way to remove wrinkles from wallpaper in a motor home?

Depends on how bad the wrinkles are. Try using a hair dryer, do not press it against the paper but hold it about 12 inches away. After warming the area, take a wallpaper smoothing tool and gently smooth the area. That took care of my wrinkle.

I've been watching this thread with interest hoping to get some tips. 76 views and 1 reply. I sure hope the hair dryer works.

It helps to score the wallpaper with a razor blade knife. The wallpaper goes behind cabinets and window frames. When the wallpaper shrinks do to cold temperatures or from the flex of the coach it puls away from the cabinet or window frame. If you score the paper right at the frame/cabinet it'll allow you to trim the excess off once you get it flattened out without having it all bunch up. The scoring also helps to prevent this in the future because the cabinet can't shove, compress, and wrinkle the wallpaper as it moves due to chassis flex. It's a common thing in Tiffins of every model, and probably SOBs also.

I see it in my Travel Supreme in corners and it occurred in my old Fleetwood as well. Wrinkling/shearing develops when exterior walls move differentially from interior walls....the same thing happens in stick-built homes when foundations settle. I also score these wrinkles with a razor blade and then they can be smoothed out to some degree.
