Ceiling replacement

[Trapper]

I have a late 60's/early 70's Trailblazer camper that is in good condition but it either leaked at one time or is still currently leaking. I plan to make some fixes but I'm unsure of what type of product to use for a radius like the one in the above picture. Any ideas what to use and where to get it?

Yes, I'm with Pat on this one.  The first product that comes to mind is FRP (fiberglass reinforced plastic) it can be purchased at most of the big hardware suppliers  Easy to clean and durable.  I've used it on ceilings and even inside walk-in coolers.  The adhesives were not excellent in the past, but may have improved.  The curved shape should work well and actually help hold the panel in place if you can get a good tight fit, and there are white plastic fasteners that also could be used. You may have to use temporary bracing until the adhesive sets. In looking at the picture, I would remove the damaged panel find the leak and fix it and replace all damaged wood.  It looks like the distance from the bed to the ceiling reinforcement may be less than 48", if that is the case, I would cover the whole section, rather than just the curved section.

Thanks for the advice. I've been racking by brain trying to figure out what to replace it with. I plan to replace the whole ceiling. Hopefully I don't find any rot in the supporting wood.
