How can I renovate my furniture/doors?

I have just purchased a bailey caravan and the interior woodwork/doors etc are in a bad way. After contacting Bailey website I find that the doors etc are MDF covered in sticy plastic wrap and that this is a common problem with the wood effect print coming off. And that there is no good solution. I will be planning to prime and then paint and my question is has anyone already done this with good results and what was used.

a number of non solid wood doors in homes are the same , a vinyl wrap which lifts by damp and heat , and i guess with a c,van summer/winter temperatures , the vinyl lifts on the edges but you can trim it off on the edges and clean facias with cheap scourers then undercoat , rub down with fine paper then finish in trade satin wood best is johnstones from a leyland center do not use diy paint as it does not have the adhesion also leylands will mix any colour from hund,reds of colours, leyands will give you good advice , say i sent you regards john
