Here’s where things get a little more complicated. In the back of the camper there was a leak. I’m sure it leaked way before I bought it… However, I had the camper stored outside at the farm for a while over winter. It was in a plastic hoop building and the snow got so heavy, it collapsed the building. This resulted in a metal pipe puncturing the roof (cue the face palm) andddd some more water got it.

Anyways, it is what it is. The ceiling is going to be a huge project. I started ripping into it to see what all I need to do

Ugh. It’s a mess a know. I was half tempted to call it quits at this point, feeling way in over my head. But some conversations with my Dad and Grandpa reassured me it can be fixed.

I highly recommend getting a scrapper like this. I found this one at my local restore, but there is a pretty similar one on Amazon. It works like a charm for scraping all the loose wallpaper loose and the broken paneling. I use it for odd jobs all the time in there

If you’ve done work on a camper or RV ceiling let me know! This is all new to me and I’m just winging it! haha Now to figure out how to put the wood back up…! Since the ceiling has a curve, I’m not sure how to go about sealing it back up
