Before...
And after filling in the cracks.
Startiung to tear the vinyl off of the aluminum walls and ceiling.
Yuck. This stuff is toxic.
These gloves ended up melting and we had to get chemical gloves.
I liked this cause it looks like animal skin. It was really cool actually.

Tearing away the vinyl.
Getting the last bits of adhesive off.
And a before shot....
And an after shot! So much better.
AfterDirections for getting vinyl wallpaper off walls (found on Airstream Forums)
1) Paint on the Jasco Paint and Epoxy Remove (or Kleanstrip KC-3)
2) Wait 15-20 min then pull back the vinyl.
3) Brush on Savogran Strypeez (we did not find the strypeez to do anything to hep remove adhesive.
4) Wait 5 min then go back over scrubbing in circles with the Strypeez laden paintbrush. You can see the "weave" pattern left by the removed vinyl in the adhesive residue. I just scrub until I cant see the pattern anymore.
5) Wipe off the globs of adhesive soaked strypeez and you will be down to fairly clean aluminum
6) Give it a final wipe with mineral spirits to get anything left.
This all takes a while and is a pain. For the Caravel I think it will end up taking 15-18 hours by the time I'm done....you should also add any time laying unconscious before your wife comes out to revive you and suggests opening a window.
