   I told my husband the whoosing sound he heard as we were driving off the lot wasn't the wind, it was our resale value. With that being said we decided to make our camper ours. Against the advice of many we painted the interior of our pod. No Regrets! 
--> I cleaned all the walls with rubbing alcohol (TSP or Acetone works too) and then I lightly sanded the walls to rough it up enough that the primer would adhere better. 
--> I primed with Bulls Eye Primer because I had it on hand.
--> I chose to paint with semi gloss for the durability, and incase there are ever any condensation issues. I used a 2" angle brush for all the tight places, and a high density small foam roller for the walls.

• We did not paint the wet bath.

	Thank you! No, the wall paper texture did not come through. It is very smooth...I think using a foam roller vs. nap roller was a big help there.
