I am putting wallpaper in my van! I've had the paper for about 13 years - I was originally going to build a photobooth prop, a "wall" with wallpaper and picture frames, and holes cut in the frames, so people could stand behind the wall and look like portraits in the frames. Never got around to it and still had the paper all these years later. The paper is "pre-pasted" but instead of getting it wet, I am just spraying adhesive glue to attach it permanently. Only managed to hang two strips so far but this is what it looks like! I'm very excited to get more done!

(Sorry the picture is not very good - it was dark and my cellphone camera is not great - if I can get a better picture, with a little more paper hung, I'll post it later. Also the picture does not seem to be previewing properly so I put the link underneath.)
 
The paper will look good and should make cleaning easier. I looked at your other build videos and am curious about the washer under the bed slat. What does it , (or they), do?
 
The washer under the bed slats just raise them up a tiny bit so they don't drag when you slide it open and closed.
 
Nice!

The Blackout Insulated Window Covers I just made for my minivan use a very similar fabric as your wallpaper for the interior side.

Now there's three strips of wallpaper! And the photo is a little better, had someone else take the picture with a better phone.
