What is the best method to glue or tack them in place

If you want the paneling to be permanent, use a construction adhesive like liquid nails. Use a caulk gun to apply a continuous bead of the glue in a zig zag pattern on the back of the paneling sheet. Get it about an inch from the edges, and not more than 6 inches between lines through the middle. Put it on the wall and tack in place. Use about 6 nails down each edge and a couple in the middle to hold it up until the glue sets. If you ever want to remove it, you will destroy the wallboard underneath.
If you want to be able to remove it in the future, use paneling nails about every 6 inches along the edges, and every foot in the middle.

I did a conversion the other way putting sheet rock over wood paneling and then taped and spackled it. I sure got rid of all the drafts.
But if that is what you want then you need to tack it up but first you need to know where the beams are whether you locate with a hammer by sound or a stud finder.

i would go with a trowel-on adhesive. it migh be hard finding "lay-off" on your studs. especially if its an older trailer. glueing is definitly the way to go. just go to lowes or home depot ...ect. it usually comes in 3 gallon buckets. its called frp adhesive. it's for the white dimply paneling you put in kitchens above stoves and sinks. you spread it on the wall with a toothed grout trowel. doing it that way you get a nice tight seal and your panneling doesn't get wavey.
