I wouldn't you'll still get water under it, and it will get torn and damaged. Protectakote would be a far better option.

I've done that with my latest van.
Actually ended up costing less in time but more in money.
I did it because when I bought this van it was so nicely ply lined I didn't like the idea of just ripping it out and protectakote, so I've given the Vinyl liner a try.
So far so good.  Bone dry undrneath despite a couple of totally flooded moments. 
Now 8 months and I still have the option to protectakote if I want.
