Roof rebuild on a old six pack
Hello all. I just bought an older six pack(early 80's) that needs the ceiling/roof repaired. The vents have leaked and ruined the ceiling panels. I removed the vents, then tore out the ceiling panels to expose the 1x2's and 1x4's. These are sagging. I live in Nevada so there isn't much wood rot, the water damage is only near the vents. My question is, what kind of paneling do I need to buy for the ceiling panels? The original is a white painted, very thin Lauan type of plywood. I went to Home Depot but didn't see anything that looked like the old panels in the ceiling. Tomorrow I am going to roll the aluminum roof back so I can remove the 1/8" Lauan plywood and the old 1x2's and 1x4's. I know on the newer (and much nicer) campers they use a plastic or vinyl covered panel. I also noticed that they don't carry any fax wood paneling any more at Home Depot.
Should I buy more 1/8" Lauan ply wood and wall paper it or paint it white?
Thank you for any advice.
