We had a similar job done last year on our SLC3505. The dealer used a matching color of panel board on the ceiling - just needed one sheet from the seam to go from the A/C to the cabinets. We also had the roof completely replaced. We had the front ladder taken off and the holes sealed. The ladder is in the toy hauler and could be reinstalled by the next owner if they wanted to put it back on. We had to replace wood on the front because the side wall pulled out of the front edge molding. The wall only had about 1/8" under the molding and during a wind storm it flexed enough to pull out. Since we were doing major repair work done, we decided to fix some issues that we had seen from the factory. We didn't have inside water damage, but water was able to get in from the side and damaged the insulation required that the front and roof has to be pulled back to replace. Since we were doing some roof work, we had the skylight replaced with lexan. The original plastic skylight was cracked from the screws that were drilled through it when it was originally installed. Over time, the cracks continued to grow and the sealant being used was constantly increasing in size. As a result, we decided to replace it with one that will never crack or become sun damaged. Rather than patch 1/3 of the roof, we decided to completely replace it from front to back and fix the issue with the caps at the front and back so that they are under the roofing material instead of on top creating water puddles and potential water dams. The front cap was rebuilt using new material at the same time.
