Tips for Repairing Water Damage and Reupholstering a 2004 Chevy Roadtrek

[Friducha]

Hello everyone, I jut recently purchased a Roadtrek and it may have experienced some water damage. I am wanting to re-upholster the walls/AC ceiling. I can be handy but not sure were to even star. Any ideas and or suggestions in the Phoenix area?

I've had good luck with using a spray bottle of 50/50 mix of water and vinegar spraying on the stained area and using paper towel to blot up the liquid/stains. It doesn't eliminate them completely, but it can significantly reduce the stain to where it doesn't show up nearly as much. I'd give this a shot way before I'd start tearing the interior apart to replace fabric.

I used a steam machine to clean up the headliner in my Roadtrek where the a/c unit had leaked. You may
try that. It did lessen the stain so it is not as noticeable.

I use Folex to clean the walls in my 08/09 Chevy PleasureWay Lexor. (Carpet stain remover)
If the walls need to be replaced, I saved this link that was posted within my group. https://www.campervan-hq.com/products/marathon-tweed-fabric?variant=45372485992701
