Painting inside of 5th Wheel good or bad idea?

Hello,

I am in the process of refreshing the interior of my 5th wheel. I will be replacing all vinyl and most of the carpet with new vinyl plank interlocking flooring. Wife just has to decide on what color.

The border that ran around the walls at half height was faded and loose in several places. I took it down and now I can't seem to get rid of the adhesive left behind. I have tried the following:

wallpaper adhesive remover
Goo Gone
Alcohol
mineral spirits

Nothing has worked. My wife thought that maybe we should just paint over it with BIN Primer and then the color of her choice. I searched the forums and I did not see any posts discussing painting the inside of an RV.

Has anyone ever done this and how did it turn out? Did you just do the walls or walls and ceiling? What type of paint did you / should I use (latex oil interior exterior?

Anything that I need to know before attempting this?

Thanks in advance for your help

a nice paneling would look better than paint.
