:-( I think you kind of got your answer. IF you want it fixed "back to factory" and by a dealer, it is likely not economical. But as some suggest, you first need to find the source of the leak and stop it. Next, you need to decided on what you are willing to put up with in terms of the repair. Depending on the extent of the damage, you may be able to "sub frame" the ceiling to add strength where needed and then cover this with paneling. This assumes that the exterior still has some integrity both structurally and water proof wise. IF you can't or won't do this yourself (or with a "beer buddy"), then the costs for hiring any professional is going to likely be prohibitive.
Your best bet is to find some one that is a handy man that understands a bit about trailer construction.... and cross your fingers. If the area is relatively small (less than a half sheet of plywood), it is probably to possible to do a reasonable repair. Removing the AC and / or inside shroud will likely tell more about what you are up against.
