Changing dark finish in our International bedroom

Just pick up this peel and stick wallpaper for our international to put in bedroom walls south facing. Has anyone had experience with this? Any thoughts on buckling or peeling due to humidity and heat changes inside the trailer over time? The roll is 20.5 inches wide and I plan to hang it vertically board look.

Update on bedroom wallcovering International

Just finished the wall covering project. I did some research on YouTube and decided to go with just washing the panels down and using peel and stick method without any additional prepping.The vinyl lays down nicely but you need to go slowly and lift back a to align now and then and smooth out horizontally, the trick is to keep your edge vertical. I found using a plastic cr card and a felt wallpaper smoother works great. I cut and laid the full sheets out for 2 days to acclimatize them as recommended.
Pic; prep for covering by removing TV and Dometic controller I pulled the switches but left them wired up and cut around these spaces.
Pic ; opposite wall done

The good thing about this is it can be reversed back at anytime.

I like the lighter look. I am sure it brightens up the area and makes it feel more spacious!

I installed peel and stick in my bathroom in January. So far I’ve had no issues with it. I used this video for instructions and tips on how to do it:

I’ve attempted installing some on the kitchen wall, too, but I haven’t found any that I like there, yet.

I would not go with a wallcovering(because of heat and possible fire issues) but look at a solid surface material like glass of metal tile, or a contrasting color in Formica. About that tip on installing wallcovering, great tip I'll keep that for future reference .

I'd love to see the kitchen when you finish it. Planning to do add something similar when we get our new international.
