Well, I've done a few things since November to our 1990 Winnebago Warrior.
First, I ripped out the shower and rebuilt it, using new wood to replace rotted wood from a leak in the roof. I used the pebble-finish fiberglass paneling from Home Depot. It looks awesome! Better than new!
Second, I started ripping out the headliner, which is drooping and held up mostly with staples. Then I cut the same fiberglass paneling I used in the shower into pieces to fit the ceiling. I have 1/3 of the RV done - from the shower back.
Third, I installed a second Group 29 marine battery in parallel with the existing house battery under the hood. This should let us boondock with no problems.

That's real good. I too am a big fan of Home Depot repair parts for the interior.
I've started redoing my interior ceiling with white melamine paneling. First the sections around the AC unit because I had to pull out the old paneling and raise the ceiling backup because of rotten sagging beams. I cut new arched beams using three-quarter inch plywood. Once I had the exact shape of the beam I wanted so it would raise the ceiling up 4 inches, I then proceeded to cut out eight more out of a full sheet of plywood. Then I laminated 4 together and made two beams, or in front and behind the AC unit. The hard part was getting the beams in all the way to the walls without tearing up the top cabinets, and then finding solid support at the end it wouldn't bring the walls down. I did that actually 7 years ago. It also gave the roof enough of a curve that very little water rests on top anymore.that's when I started putting in the melamine ceiling panels. It really brightens it up in their. So you're one third done, I have a 79 roll along and still have two more pages of need to do items. It keeps me busy.
