My Shasta has good ceiling panels except for the one where the ceiling vent is. There is water damage around the vent. What is the best way to go about replacing this panel? It runs from one side of camper over sink to the other side into the closet. It is only damaged around vent area. Also where is the best place to find the wood panel?

Most of us pull the roof to replace the ceiling panels. They overlap the walls and provide sheer strength. Usually there is more damage than expected, which is very difficult to repair from the inside.It can be done but isn't recommended. Shastas are well known for having "floating" vent frames. I always attach them firmly together and to other roof members.
Panels are available at local lumber yards. 1/8 is very hard to find and non existent in some parts of the country. Since it is a middle panel, you might be able to use 3/16.
