Unfortunately, any process in which human beings are involved is inherently flawed.
These kind of "mistakes" could be so easily avoided during the build process if the people involved took pride in their work and/or had a culture of quality first instilled at their workplace by the leadership.
It's not just the RV building business, it's a problem in almost everything we encounter in which we rely on human hands and mindsets.
About adding plywood: choose your new material wisely. Some new material will have a high moisture content and as it balances out over time it will warp, and if one side is open to the air while the other is "sealed" to another piece it will warp as well.
I would use MDO to add strength or to just replace any of the pieces you are unhappy with. It will remain stable and it has moisture barrier facing - sometimes one face, sometimes both faces.
If you use another material, I would seal the open side with a wood finishing product (shellac, urethane) or paint to help keep the moisture content stable.
