RV Remodel Vinyl Plank Wood Ceiling

When we purchased Ol' King he was covered in 1990's wallpaper. This wallpaper was peeling off in several areas, but yet in other areas the wallpaper was staying glued on for dear life. When it came to the ceiling we tried our best to remove it all, but it was being very stubborn. Initially we thought that we were just going to paint the ceiling just a basic white. After some online inspiration I thought why don't we add a dark wood feel to the roof as well as the flooring. Rather opting for real wood we decided to go with a sticky vinyl flooring. We went down to our local Lowes to scope out their selection. We ended up leaving with a beautiful dark colored vinyl that pairs with the flooring perfectly.

Prior to leaving the store we talked with multiple employees to see what would be best for applying the vinyl to make sure it sticks. We were advised to purchase this adhesive to apply to the surface even through the planks themselves were sticky we wanted to make sure they weren’t going anywhere. As we started into this project we soon realized it was going to take some time, but nothing worth having comes easily. This diy project is definitely a two person job. My husband and I make a good team, and we made a system to applying the planks. 

Majority of the time a ladder was needed to place the planks to the ceiling, except in the bedroom where the ceiling is low.  My husband was in charge of measuring and cutting the planks to the correct size. While he was cutting I was on the ladder applying the adhesive to the roof, placing the vinyl and rolling it out once applied.  The adhesive had to be applied about 10-15 minutes prior to placing the vinyl on it so that there was enough time to let it get tacky. Once the adhesive was tacky we would set the strip of vinyl into place, and then I would roll out the piece. This project was time consuming, but worth all those neck cramps while looking up towards the ceiling. 

We are very pleased with our end result and would do it again!
