Challenges replacing the wallpaper
I had some water damage to the bedroom and removed all the wallpaper. I sprayed the walls with mold deterrent, sandpapered and then primed with oil primer. I purchased wallpaper that could be paint...

Ok, the oil based primer is too slick for prepasted wallpaper to stick too.
Step one, scuff the wall with a scotchbrite pad.
Step two, paint the wall with wallpaper size.
Step three, paint the back of the wallpaper with industrial wallpaper paste. A thin coat applied with a roller works well.
It will stick, and it will be removable.
The reason you want to use the heavy paste in addition to the prepaste is that RV use with expansion and contraction, changes in humidity, and changes in temperature are a challenge more so than a stationary structure.
I am assuming you are using a commercial vinyl, and not ordinary house wallpaper.
