Question
I just bought a 78 Mallard 23 ft travel trailer, which has had a previous roof leak.  There is some minor water damage in the front of the trailer with some bowing of the ceiling panel and also some on the wood paneling up where the bunk would fold down.  Wondering how to and where to get supplies to replace the ceiling panel and the wood paneling.  Also wondering if I need to be concerned about mold there as well.  Thanks very much for any help and advice.

Hi Mitch,
 Yes, Mold is a possiablity when ever a long lasting leak has been present. there are mold removal specialist you can call to remove it. As you take it apart you will see the wood you need to get. Any lumber yard will stock what you need. the interior panels you can order from an RV dealer.
