Attempting to remove the vinyl from any interior wall surface would be a mistake as would painting. All the interior shell walls (in trailers newer than early '60s) have this material laminated to the aluminum from the aluminum manufacturer. Some have different patterns. The bathroom vinyl is adheared to the ABS plastic sheet before it is vacuum formed to shape and is also permanent. The best cleaning method I've found is to use "Soft Scrub with bleach" and a natural bristle scrub brush. (Don't use a plastic bristle brush because they won't hold enough water.)Start with the mid-ceiling and work down. Dampen the brush with warm water, squirt a little Soft-Scrub on the brush and gently scrub the vinyl. Let it set for a short while (don't let it dry) then wipe with damp towel. Rinse the towel and wipe again. The bleach is not strong enough to hurt the vinyl, but is effective in removing most stains. This method also works on the Zolotone painted interiors, but be very carelful not to scrub too hard. Practice in an unseen area first. This is a project for full raingear or swim suit, because you WILL get wet!
