Painting over wallpaper

I was wondering if anyone has ever painted over the RV wallpaper?

I have a Thor Four Winds and contemplating painting the RV wallpaper. What type of paint would be best if I were to do this?

    We like the Zinser Bullseye primer sealant better than Kilz. Used Kilz for years, then the store was out when we needed some so bought the Zinser - it was thicker and covered better. Didn't seem to stink as much either.


    That is a good product also.

    Three year ago I used Kilz latex base primer (tinted to the top coat color),
    then Bear latex paint.

    No problems at all.

    Forgot to add:
    Light sanding to break the surface gloss of the wallpaper.
