You can use a paint with a primer works just fine
Paint as you would any wall. That's what I did right over the design. Mine wasn't a very obvious design.
That is exactly what I found when I bought an 80's single wide. I pulled off all the trim pieces. I used joint compound and tpe for all the seams and corners. Watch You Tube tutorials to learn to do this. It's not difficult with a bit of practice. I used a light texture, paint and primer in one. The walls look great and not very "mobile-ish".
To DD... many mobile homes have a printed dry wall... most of the surface has a vinyl wall paper feel to it.... it will pull off,,, BUT... in many cases it takes the "paper surface" of the dry wall with it... leaving just the gypsum
To 31h27.... paint and primer do NOT always stick to this type of drywall surface... any bump or scrape leaves a gouge in the paint and in some cases it just peels right off.... it has to be oil based primer and paint unless you resurface the drywall with a product similar to popcorn ceiling.... just a smoother texture... like a smooth orange peel.... we rented a machine to do ours... one without the hopper on the gun itself.
I remember those from when we had a mobile home. Some were actual paper, and you could remove it. The rest was a vinyl type print. Those, you could use sealer on and then paint. I used Kilz.
