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?

then Bear latex paint.
No problems at all.
Forgot to add:
Light sanding to break the surface gloss of the wallpaper.

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.

Have you actually slept in a house where you used this? I am trying to figure out why what you say is so different from my experience.
Yes, Painted all the ceilings in my S&B this past Spring in preparation for new carpet. Had some staining from blowing Hurricane winds / rain in past. Covered all stains 100%. We had windows / doors open during priming and slept in the house each night after painting. We did one room per day, primed, waited a few hours, painted over, slept like a baby 🙂
Used on several mobile homes with the fabric walls and severe nicotine staining. Works great, even will work on wood paneling.

This is from the Kilz website. As I said before, put up with the oil based primer smell / fumes for 24 hours and you will get a better job in the end.

The water based Kilz is good but I would not use it on wallpaper since the glue will loosen with water based primer.
Hmmm... when I have used it over wallpaper it has never loosened. I suppose it depends on the paper?
Looks like a good case for testing everything! Inside a closet ;).

I really regretted using the oil based version of Killz indoors. And that was in an S&B house! I don't think it would be possible to sleep in the RV for at least 6 months, and more likely 12.

I would not sleep there the same day but surely not 6 months as you suggested. Let it dry it does not take long, a few hours. Then paint over with Latex. All with good ventilation. Yes I have done this.
I agree it's strong stuff but with proper ventilation it's a great product. The water based Kilz is good but I would not use it on wallpaper since the glue will loosen with water based primer.

I guess, from this thread, that the fumes do not bother some people as much. But I see no advantage to using the oil based, and a huge potential disadvantage. So why risk it?
Back in the day, 30-40 years ago, oil based primers stuck on better than water based ones. But, in my professional experience, that has not been true for a long time.
