I can't speak on painting cabinets (never done it), but my wife did paint our rear bedroom walls shortly after we bought our RV.  She used a heavy duty adhesive remover to get off all the original wallpaper and expose the bare walls, then painted with standard interior paint.  No big deal really.

use a good primer like Kilz

Odds are your cabinets are some type of paper-veneer wood composite, e.g. MDF. If so, make sure the veneer is still well-adhered, sand lightly and then use a top quality primer such as the Kilz the Ernie suggested. And a good quality paint too. Paint does not adhere well to this type of veneer, so the primer is a necessity.

Hii Gary;  This is the 1st time I have even thought of this, but is it possible to repaint the walls of a 2000 5th wheel.  I also wanted to know if there is such a thing as slide-out replacement carpet.  As you can see I really want to redo the entire interior to make it more modern.  Any suggestions  Thanks Garnett

The slide out carpet is just off the roll carpet. The trick is- finding someone who knows how to install it.
I can help you. Tell me more about the rig.
