This was super helpful!!! We put a baby gate around our computers in the living room and used velcro strips to adhere the gate to the wall... the gate made a small hole in the wall, and when our 2 1/2 year old son noticed it, he ripped a small piece of the wallpaper off. He gets through the velcro part of the gate anyway, so one day i decided to try a new approach- adhesive baby-proofing lock devices meant for toilet lids, ovens, etc. When I went to take the velcro off of the wall it was ripping the wallpaper off, so now this whole little area will be messed up. I'm so glad i found this video so now we will know how to fix this mess (once i finish removing the velcro.) Thank you so much!
You sir, are a lifesaver!! I'm in this stage of wall work in my double wide and have just been using TSP to wash the vog before I prime it. That's because of your last video on filling the batten strips that I removed. I was going to put up sheetrock but it would sit proud of the window frames, etc. Thank you so very much!!!
Thanks, glad I could help you out 😎. And thanks for subscribing!
I used a new type of wallpaper that's made just for this. It said you didn't even have to fill the joints, but I put to tight coats, and it kept sanding very low. The reason I did it, vinyl wallpaper will still show texture if all you do is the joints, when you paint it even if its flat, when the light hits it right, you can tell every joint. I have seen people put a very thin layer of mud over the whole wall, but it can fall right off in chips and is very messy. I found the wallpaper at Lowes, made to cover holes and to either paint or stay white. There were different designs, and no loss for pattern. I chose a look of stucco and did my bedroom in a islands theme. It was easy and not that messy. I sold the place, but the couple that bought it said its still holding strong, that was 15 years ago....
What is it called?
@@faeryegrrl777 Allen and Roth is one, but I can't remember the brand I used. If you go to any place like Lowes or Home Depot and tell them what you want to do, they will help you. Its real thick, and the one I used looked like stucco, so I painted it a coral color and beach themed it,lol....
@@barnacles62 I'm sure that looks awesome! Thank you very much for answering.
@@faeryegrrl777 I think @barnacles62 is talking about a textured wallpaper called anaglypta.
Always appreciate all that you do to help as much as possible. Thank you for that, ..mobile home, under the light switch by front door. Textured vinyl. I did a horrible repair job there was a patch just put in. Just trying to do a good deed for a buddy.......
I don't have a mobile home but is good to know ! all this stuff Thank you for sharing sir !
Luckily I research BEFORE beginning a project where I have little to no clue what I'm doing but look like a pro doing it.
THANK YOU for all the advice.
My dog tore the white layer off, i watched other videos, sprayed killz, mud, paint, looks perfect 😊
Hurricane Michael had brought in driven rain in one of my bedrooms .. ugh The brown paper bag look . Ended up gutted the room and sheet rock . Love your videos .
I’m in the process of redoing a room after watching your 1st video. I’m pretty sure you said don’t remove the vinyl in the 1st one. Either way, I’m muddying the 2nd coat this weekend and hopefully will be through sanding and ready to paint soon.
I live in a manufactured home and there is alot of work in them tearing one wall down means tearing all walls down for one project the only thing I can say save your money and do it right it may take a long time but you know yourself its gonna get done right if it's an easy fix use what he is telling you shoot I would use all of it it would help out more than just tearing walls down but I live in an older model trailer and it needs to be done the right way God bless everyone thanks for your video it helped out a lot I'm new at this but I'm going to learn I subscribed to your channel and liked your video and left a comment
I have an area where I wanted to remove the strips and paint but I found that the vinyl was bubbling up in several large areas. It was literally almost falling off the wall. I went ahead and took it off and filled the cracks with caulk. Then I put 2 thin coats of paint on it and lightly sanded to remove the fuzziness. I finished it with 2 more coats of paint and so far it looks good. I have been in this trailer for 29 years and I am amazed at some of the stupid things I have had to fix in it. I have found that the holes cut for the toilet flanges were so big that they were barely able to attach them to the floor without them falling through. I had to replace the floor around both toilets and reinforce the floor so the toilets wouldn't rock. The plumbing for the sinks was blocking areas of the cabinets so that a lot of space was unusable. One of the kitchen cabinets was over 2 feet wide but the drawers were only 10 inches wide and 15 inches long. I recently reworked that cabinet and now have 3 times the storage space in it than I had before. Maybe you can do a video about the stupid things that trailer manufacturers do and how to fix them.
Thanks for the idea
Great info, I have a trailer and have experienced some of this, thanks for sharing will help me with future work.
Mobile homes in a dry climate RULE! Appreciate your information. I keep 'plastic wood' and old school wood glue on-hand at all times. Amazing wall damage results. I try to minimize damage on the way in so it don't get so tricky on the way out. Stay safe.
Great presentation !!! Great advice. You are the man.
Whew !!! I haven't started yet.. Thank you for the advice..
Thank you for your tips, sir. When we first got our MH 15 years ago , it was near impossible to find this kind of information. I scoured home improvement forums with very little information. I'm glad MH owners have more resources nowadays!
I think the final comment about return says it all. Do it you live there and you just want to. Don't expect a return on investment.
Thanks for answering my questions... ❤️
Good information! I recently bought an older manufactured home and plan on painting over the wallpaper. There are some areas that were peeling up by the batten’s and I wasn’t sure what I should do.
Hello, how did it project come out after painting over the wallpaper??
Awesome info. Thanks for sharing!
Just bought a mobile home and it has some spots where the vinyl was ripped off. Thank you for the tips.
I have accidentally pulled the wallpaper off one wall when I was remodeling my bathroom. I used Gardz and it worked like a charm.
Rx35 for sealer ontop of brown exposed paper or wallpaper then can do your mud. Thats if ya messed up.
Thank you for this video. Couldn’t find anything better 😎
I'm glad your feeling better. Praying for you and the Misses
Thanks we appreciate you
Thanks for sharing your tips!
I am so glad that I stumbled across your videos on CZcams! I am in the process of remodeling a mobile home. From many mistakes I have learned to look on CZcams for expert advice, such as you offer. I have learned a lot and I believe that the project will come out well. Thank you so much again!
Thank you. Very helpful.
Grate work that your doing
Thank you
I came across your video at a perfect. time. I am going to purchase a manufactured home. I was wondering what my options are if I decided to get one where I wanted to address those plastic strips and/or old wallpaper the proper way. I thought I might have heard years ago that you can really mess up your walls when removing wallpaper..so I'm really glad I came across you videos. .I'll be sure to check your others now. I wanted to say thanks so much for sharing this info!! It's really appreciated! 💜
Thanks, glad I could help you out 😎. And thanks for subscribing!
I left the wall paper on and had the walls textured and painted. In my restroom I left it along because the vinyl repels water. My next project I am kicking around is installing insulation over the outside walls. Unfortunately they did not have overhang on the roof and they used a cheap fiber material for siding and it started to puff. I put on gutters and glued in drip edge after much research. I had to replace a lot of the siding. It has a sloped roof but with the heat in our area I need more insulation.
Thank you for sharing this video!
I textured over and painted my living room, kitchen and bedrooms. In my bathroom I just left it because it is vinyl wall over gypsum.
Just saying hello and thanks for some great information.
Very helpful, thank you!
You're welcome!
Hello, I wish I had you to refinish my mobile home walls!
Our experience trying to remove the strips & fill resulted in cracks as out doublewide settled. We put the strips back and repainted.
Thanks for helping me with a question I had concerning what to do when you have raw gypsum showing!!! I don't have a mobile home, etc. I have termite damage that am getting ready to repair. In some spots, the little buggers actually ate the paper (both brown and white layers) all the way down to the gypsum. I have a few spots about the size of a basket ball that are this way. I was worried I would have to cut it out, but now I know that I can fibafuse and hot mud it and it should be OK. I had no idea if the hot mud would stick to the gypsum.
It's crazy. I never thought of them eating the paper off the drywall, but I guess it makes sense. Of course, they didn't eat the paint, so it looks OK until you touch it, then the paint just crumbles away showing the exposed gypsum. I will have to cut out some of it to get inside the wall to assess and repair any damage to the studs, but in some spots, I think I can just get away with repairing the drywall as is.
Dang critters
Good info. to have for future reference.
Ughhhh I wish I would have seen this before I started working on my kitchen! I was trying to repair some spots and ended up going way too far.
Mine dosent have the little boards in between but like thick wallpaper tape between them and looks like under that tape its kinda crumbled and its bubbled...under the wallpaper seam tape i mean...so far i been using just lightweight mud overtop and then trying to sand them smooth
Life saver. I love ur kilt! Thanks for ur videos…Its my 1st home…its all remodeled..but the ceilings…argh….I hated popcorn… now..what is this😂 I know nothing about manufactured homes…And I need to hang and change things…but …What if I remove and cant put back…
everything is complicated..different..full of ifs…more expensive than regular homes
And the increased value is little:0( but anyway…my trailer my castle…❤
I did the disaster zone ugh ty wish I saw before
Is it available at any lumber yard, or do I have to get it from a mh supply store?
We own a manufactured home. My daughter accidentally got nail polish on the striped wall of her bathroom. We used nail polish remover to take it off. However it took off some of the vertical stripes. She was happy because she hates (we both do) the stripes. How would we go about fixing this. Could we paint to get rid of the vertical stripes? Thank You for any suggestions.
What do I use to hang pictures? I have 27 small mirrors and not even hanging tape by superglue isn’t hold them on the wall . I don’t want to put that many holes in the wall.
I can texture coat paneling in mobile home.? Just seen you first time 👍
I just bought my first moblie home. Its brand new but I am not sure the do's and donts when it comes to these walls. any ideas?
I am in the process of repairing my home the problem I am having is when I have to fix a piece of drywall there is a lot of liquid nail on the studs and trying to match the drywall is becoming difficult the new drywall is about 1/8 in higher than the existing because of the liquid nail what should I do
I'm removing some batten strips before repainting a room. The previous owner painted over them with a thick rubbery paint. It was impossible to remove them without damaging the vinyl coating. I tore some of the vinyl down to the brown paper while trying to remove the rubbery ridges of paint along the edges. Thank you for letting us know about the sealer products. Can I use the FibaFuse drywall repair tape over the brown paper as well as over the joints? It sounds easier than painting on a liquid sealer. Thanks!
It still might bubble
i generally just prefer to hang new 3/8 rock when i do mobile homes. have done several and it really isnt too expensive if you know what youre doing and just do a room at a time
So can you paint over the vinyl just like a regular wall ?
Excellent video
Thanks
Haven't pulled it off deliberately, but I do have a small spot that was damaged and I got my young dog pulling at, and didn't know how to fix it.
My father and I are remodeling a ‘99 single wide for my husband, little one, and me. I ripped the wall strips off in a bit of an overzealous manner and was left with some rips down to the brown paper. Thankfully, I’d already watched your previous video about PRO 999! I went a picked some up, and I haven’t used it just yet. We’re doing a ton of repairs, so I’m waiting on that particular one. I wanted to ask, though, when I have a small amount of the gypsum showing, surrounded by a patch of brown paper, should I put the tape over the gypsum first? Or, can I put the PRO-999 around it and the tape over to reinforce? Your channel has helped me so so much, and even helped me score a few brownie points with my dad, who is quite the repair expert.
Pro 999 first
What's the safest paint for those walls ?
I'd love to make my double wide.Walls look like sheet rock but it turns out that I have wood panels with the strips in between and I don't know if I can tape and spackle them.
Does anyone know if I can remove the batten strips and instead of filling in with drywall can I just put self adhesive wallpaper over the walls? I really don't want to deal with filling in the seams lol
I just saw one... im interested in what youre saying
hello my friend .great info .thank you from doug
Thanks Doug.
What years had that type of walls? My mobile is a 1978 and it has walls made of thin paneling that the previous owner just textured then painted. I wish I knew how to make them look like normal walls but in a video by someone else about fixing up really old mobile homes, they warned that the support under the flooring may need shoring up if drywall was used to replace that old, thin, lightweight paneling. So I am thinking maybe you are talking about old but newer than 1978 mobile homes.
It can be stripped off just replace vinyl?
I'm starting to strip the batten strips off my wall, so all help appreciated
How did it go I’m wanting to start this weekend
Hi, i just purchased a brand new double wide manufacturer home, (mobile) and I notice it was cheaply made. Lots of mistakes and I have no idea how to fix anything
I'm currently working on a trailer built in early 70s it has 1/8 inch 4'×8' sheats of wood paneling can you successfully cover it in drywall mud or would you have to tear it off and ad sheet rock.
Really flimsy walls will likely crack and chip the drywall mud off. I would add a new layer of drywall to stiffen it up. Thanks
You can put a good primer on the exposed core, then use heavy craft paper adhered with Elmer's and wallpaper glue. Then topcoat with a skim of finish compound. This is durable and doable with reasonable caution.
If you could spend less time telling us what you're going to tell us and just tell us we would really appreciate it first several minutes was telling us what you were going to tell us thanks for the awesome information
Just watch on 1.75 speed :) great info, thanks Kiltman!
I think we're going to gut the [free] mobile home to the wall frames and reframe it to 2"x6" or 2"x8" and heavily insulate it. We live in North Dakota, so the more insulation, the better. Once we're done, it should be more like a regular house.
Good video... Do you know how do you fix holes in VOG that has a textured finish?
Same as regular drywall except you have to somehow simulate the VOG texture
Thanks. I'm doing my first coat with tape all my walls have been primed and painted multiple times buy previous owners, will this cause problems? And any concerns with tapping wall to ceiling joints? I was told not to because of shifting/settling.
www.ThatKiltedGuy.com
After removing battens and taping and mudding joints, can I roll texture on the VOG walls after using a water base Kilz?
Make sure the primer is the highest bonding you can find then yes. Primers are not all the same
I have a question about the wall of a 2022 Skyline. I am looking at tryign to install ceiling lights but need to run wire. Instead of drilling guide holes, how difficult is it to just remove one panel of the wall? This way I can access teh interior wall and run wire to the outlet.
Probably way more difficult
Do you have a step by step (products included) video on exactly how to paint VOG wood paneling?
I'm doing my research before starting the project.
I don’t
Ugh, I had fraid edges through out my mobile home. I stripped off the vinyl. It pealed right off. Very dry and brittle. Now I have clean surfaces all the way through the house. So do I use the fiberflex and then skim coat or 1/8 in vinyl to replace the top coat I removed
If the strength is gone sheets of fibafuse and skim coating
Hi! Is it possible to remove the joint strips & the flower looking screws, from the ceiling?
Probably but I can’t say without seeing it so I’m not going to say go ahead
Hi KiltedGuy. I know this video was posted a while ago. But I have a drywall issue in my mobile home, and I have no idea who to ask for advice on how to fix it. So I'm SO glad I found your channel, and I REALLY hope you read this, and can help me.
Can you hang new wallpaper over VOG? I have some holes in my walls, but I can't just mud and paint them, because the VOG vinyl is already colored/patterned. So the white mud would stand out like a sore thumb, and I'm not a talented enough painter, to match the patterns, lol. And I'm not sure about painting over vinyl, anyway.
But I was thinking if I could mud/sand the holes, and then find a wallpaper with a complementary color for the walls in the affected areas (like the hallway, for example), I could fix the holes and make my trailer look decent again.
Would that work? And if not, what can I do (short of replacing the whole wall, which I can't really afford, and, again, wouldn't match)?
Any advice?
Oh, and I subbed to your channel, so I get notifications, and so maybe I can find more helpful videos in the future!
TYSM in advance!!
If you smooth out the wall joints and defects, you should be able to wallpaper it and make it look good if you wallpaper the whole wall. But I would look for a heavier textured wallpaper as thinner wallpaper may telegraph the pattern right back through.

I have a question so it happened a few years ago but one of the batten strips came off the drywall and one of the drywall sheets ended up popping off the stud a bit leaving a open gap between the installation and drywall where the batten strip was should I put the drywall back in place by using a nail gun to secure back to the stud?
Use drywall screws
Could one just remove the batten strips and wallpaper over them with Builders Kraft paper and then paint over that? Im thinking yes so long as the seems of the paper don't fall on the areas previously covered by the batten strip. My husband and I have neither the time nor physical aptitude for sanding anything and are trying to think of inexpensive solutions for our new home.

I want to remove the batten strips, can I use an all purpose caulk to “flatten” the surface and paint over that? Or should I just use the drywall mud?
To fill larger gaps use the products I did, or as a bare minimum, Fast setting mud. Regular mud will fail without the additive.
How about the strips that go between the long ceiling panels, such as on my friends 1975 or so Golden West double wide - Fleetwood - I tried buying more strips, as they have pulled out in some places, though ceiling panels have no damage - they arrived cracked, and I was told any from that age would be cracked. Would like to get these strips to go back in place and stay there -
Thank you! You just stopped us from ripping out the vinyl across our new home. Is it possible to simply wallpaper over the painted VOG, or even tile over it?
If you can get it to stick, yes
Good to know! Was just unsure if the structure would be strong enough to carry the weight of tile, but seems like it should work.
Great video. I love the kilt, is it Gordon dress plaid?
I’m not sure. I wear them for the comfort and style
I started with a small area of walpaper vynal Walboard it was near the stove and I had tried to clean the paper but it looked like it had been burnt on grease . I had originally thought it was regular wall paper so I started to strip it. because there are spots where it is peeling from the wall and showing the baige vynial not v white gypsen. I stopped when I saw brown paper. Can I use modpoge which is a acrylic to go over the brown spots ? Let dry and mud over it. The prior owner put stickers on the paperboard and they had been removed . In general it is very greasy and tabbaco stained how do . I clean it so that I can either paint or add new wallpaper? On a tight budget the 999 is expensive. I have modpoge because it's used for crafting. Clear coat.non toxic.
I don’t know
Do you have a video on how to put in splash guards on the walls of a manufactured home?
I don’t
Do you have a link to your video in which you do a repair on VOG ?
Search for mobile home that kilted Guy
grandpa, climb the ladder and get me the ballon. wow grandpa, what are those?
Can I do a knock down texture right over the vinyl, or will it not stick?
Best to prime with a bonding primer first
I was on the job this morning and the general contractor is sheet rocking and is not taping all the joints and corners. 😬😬. Is that a good idea cause I’ve never seen that before.
Bad
Hello thanks for a very informative video. I don’t think I have the ability to remove the strips right now but I plan to paint over my VOG walls in my manufacturered home that I just bought. What type of cleanser should I use to clean the walls with before I paint? And which type and name brand primer and paint do you suggest to paint over this floral ugly VOG walls?? Thanks for your help😊
TSP or Krud Cutter. A good bonding primer like bullseye 123
After removing the batten stripes, can you put sheet rock over the original vinyl walls and tape and float?
Yes but I would stick with 1/4 inch or 3/8 and it will affect how your door trim works and a few other things
We already stripped the vinyl off our living room walls , is it ok to use the Pro 999/ RX35 on our 3 walls? And do we roll on the Pro 999/RX35? Do you have a video on how to plaster walls?
1- depends. 2- you can or brush it 3-no.
Thanks
What if I peeled off a backsplash sticker above the sink, and it peeled off the vinyl? Can I just get another peel and stick backsplash and stick it right to the brown board?
Clean it up, then apply something like gardz and then yes
Remove Batten Strips From VOG Drywall Then Taped Board & Batten Seems And Knockdown Textured Walls. What type of primer to use?
Pva
Can you just paint over VOG? Do you need a specific type of paint/primer? It’s pretty smooth and I’m afraid it’ll peel off and I don’t want to waste time and money doing it wrong.
If it’s smooth walls, I make sure they are clean first, then I prime it with a bonding primer, just ask for it at your paint store, and then I paint.
