What kind of material did Wanderlodge use for falls. Think I'd be asking a bit closer to home at the Wanderlodge Owners Group. I know that there are some active memebers over there that are really up on that kind of stuff.

Years ago I painted the old trailer I lived in --- the walls then were about the same as the stuff they use now. I cleaned the walls with TCP to get rid of all the grease, etc, then I used a primer to get a smooth finish and give the paint something to grip. I used a semi-gloss.....and made sure I did a good job. It was beautiful! I would imagine your rig would be the same....

Does it matter on what kind of paint you'd be using?
