Online sources to buy replacement parts for Travel Trailer

I hope I am in the appropriate forum. I have a 2010 Coleman travel trailer. I just noticed I have a leak around a vent in the roof. I am taking it in to have it re caulked, but I also have damage from the water to the dinette seats. (the wood is water damaged, swollen, not sure exactly how to word it). I was wondering if the wood part is something I can purchase and replace? I thought of just cutting plywood but would like everything to match and not be able to tell that I had to replace. One piece of the trim around the slide out also has damage. Any information on online sources that sell these things would be greatly appreciated.

    We looked at some damaged units this Spring, so dug into it a bit.

    After repairing the leak and replacing any wood, the interior materials can make a very nice, mostly unnoticeable repair, but matching them up can be a pain.

    That's where a helpful RV place can be a good resource.

    Use the right materials for professional results ;)

    Water is a killer to pressed board construction campers.

    Not impossible to fix, but finding matching materials...

    Where are you located? Some dealers will order exact parts and even help you select them for DIY fixes.

    Google is your friend, if anyone has the parts you need that is the best way to find them.
