Patching screw holes in ceiling?
I'm wondering if I were to remove the commonplace pancake style light fixtures from the ceiling to install recessed lights, can the screw holes be patched somehow so you can't see them afterwards? No...

The covering on a lot of the RV interior panels is a thin vinyl sheet. There are an abundance of filling products made for wall repair that would fill the holes. You may have to touch up the filled holes with some paint to match the color of the covering on the panels.
For walls that are somewhat "off-white", I use a Sherwin-Williams resin based filler to match. In most cases I'm going to be painting over the filler so color isn't an issue. The resin based filler tends to shrink less and is waterproof so can be used on exterior applications.
I have my reservations about a recessed fixture for RV applications. It will need to be rated for heat transmission and might give up a lot of insulation space. If it's too deep, it might make an area prime for condensation because of the temp differential from the fixture to the roof skin.
FWIW, here's what I came up with for fixtures for the LED panels that are commonly retrofitted for RV use. The fixture is a card display frame from which I replaced the easel back with a piece of aluminum sheet. The LED panel is mounted to the aluminum sheet and the frame slides onto the sheet.
