Hello all,
I am working on a bathroom in a 1996 dbl wide. I removed the trim boards from the seams and was going to mud, and tape them.
If I put a level across the seam, it is much taller than the rest of the wall. Approx. 1/4" at 12"-16" away from the seam on both sides in places.
The walls are the standard 3/8" vinyl wall paper junk.
I am thinking at this point, that I just need to tear them out and put up real sheet rock. Either that, or float the mud out 16" from the seam.
I appreciate any suggestions that you may have. Thank you.

Steve,
Is it possible that the studs are out of plane a bit? One(s) where the panel seams land on might be sticking out a bit and causing the hump?
I'm also contemplating a reno project that will need to consider this issue. No idea if I'll find the same discrepancy as you're finding...

The people who owned my dblwide before me, took out all the seam trim, did a basic tape and bed, and then textured the walls. The tape has popped at every single seam simply due to "movement" of the walls.
i hate the seam trim as much as anyone else - but the eyesore of popped tape is just as bad.
