"Fun"? You are a masochist, Jabreyd13!

i don't have a responce other than you are so screwed. the only thing i have found that effectively removes contact adheasive is acetone and lots of rags.
breathing equipment will be required and this stuff is dangerously flamable so take proper precausions. on the other hand will pretty much wipe the glue off onto your rags (lots of rags).
to get on the roofs i use 8' step ladder, step to awning rail then onto roof, stay on the ribs as much as you can . i've been on hundreds if not thousands of a/s roofs and not damaged any, are more supportive than you would expect.

I have appreciated reading the sage advice from many of the members concerning taking the interior wall surface down to bare aluminum.
I am in the process of removing the vinyl wallpaper from the interior of my 1965 Overlander. I've generally followed the advice of amfab from the tread started in 2002.
It works, but has required many breaks due to the fumes, which delays progress. Set-up always starts with turning my AS into a wind tunnel!
The job is about 95% finished. There's one last pain-in-the-neck, niggling issue: how do you get the last bit of vinyl off from around/underneath the interior rivets?
Advice from those who went down this path before me?
Thanks!

Robert, when you've finished with yours, will you come do mine please?

I'll be honest: I'm looking forward to getting past his stage. Only the polishing will be as tedious, I expect.
I'll try to finish this weekend!
