OK, the seats are now stable. Next project - the ceiling! As you can see, it is in rough shape. Near as I can tell, it got wet and dry repeatedly. The previous (original) owner only used the camper for one month, then parked it on his property southeast of Albuquerque in the sunshine. Obviously in must have rained occasionally. He never checked the camper until selling it to us. And we were not sure what the damage was from. I had a minor leak once during a torrential rain we drove through, and resealed all the roof screws with 3m 4200. No more leaks. But, damage was done to the roof liner material.
The thin "wooden" battens shatter on removal, leaving lots of nasty staples behind. They come out with a bit of cursing and tugging with a pair of pliers
Here is a short clip I recorded about attempting to repair the ceiling liner... not sure this will work - my first crack at sharing a video clip on WtW.

Basically, I have new liner material from the good folks at ATC. The pattern matches the material that is in there now. I may have the time, but I am not sure I want to remove the roof completely in order to do this repair. I may yet do that, but I wanted to experiment with doing a more "tactical" repair rather than full on replacement.
So, I am going to cut out the damaged stuff and replace only that. Thanks to the work done by others here, I think this is a viable option. Previous good threads:

OK, I am committed now!
And just a few minutes later, I have mostly removed the bad stuff. Just another chunk to do over the bed area:
I am pleased to see that there isn't much damage or mold on the rockwool in the ceiling. I am likely going to replace that with 1" solid insulation. I've heard rumours that can squeek in a wind though... is that true? Should I stick to fluffy fiberglass stuff? Either way, I am going to seal it all up to create a vapor barrier like I did in the walls.
More tomorrow....
