My single wide was bought in 2010 and although i picked out the wallpaper and it is nice I sometimes think I’d like to paint the rooms instead. Would I have to take all the wallpaper off first or could I paint overtop?

You definitely want to remove the wallpaper unless it’s the paintable kind. Regular wallpaper will not hold paint well. Maybe you could try a chair rail with a nice trim on the bottom third of the wall?
