Avion truck campers - Hundreds of photos
Without going into too much painful detail, we had a mishap several week-ends ago. While working with sand bag crews on the Mississippi River, the truck and camper fell into the flood waters as a road...

67 Avion, I wish I could help with your question and I don't mean to be a smart-azz, but you really should figure out where and/or how the water is getting inside or whatever work you do replacing wood is for not, it'll just get wet and rot/mold/smell again.
I do have a somewhat related suggestion for anyone with their camper tore apart inside. Find some micro-switches and mount them somewhere in or near the openings of the roof vents (mounted such to "close" the switch if the vent is left open, tied to a vehicle ignition-on circuit), do the windows too if possible. Wire them up (using low voltage, fused of course) to a small "light board" in the cab, with small warning lights. With this done, if you try to take off with any roof vents open (or windows) you'll get light(s) lit up telling you so. Besides preventing rain from being blown inside the camper, it'll also prevent you from blowing the somewhat fragile roof vents completely off.
Edit: I just remembered something, leaving the water heater cover loose at an overnight stop, driving off and loosing it. It, along with other compartment doors, can also be wired up with various micro-switches. Water hook-up & electrical cord compartment door, propane tank door, etc.
