Hi,  I have just done my 1997 Vanmaster bathroom I peeled the vinyl off leaving a thin layer of backing paper which was well and truely stuck to the plywood, even when wetted.  I left it on for better adhesion.  It works!

I used a strong mix of Solvite Extra and a good quality vinyl paper.  It didn't take long and looks tons better.  Because I bought a reasonable quality "slightly embossed type" Italian vinyl no imperfections show through.  Cos its fiddley make sure you have a new sharp stanley knife to achieve neat edges.  I bought one of the smaller knives to help in those awkward places.

Hope this helps.
