Thanks for the picture and feedback Karen. Beautiful woodwork that makes me wish for the woodwork in my old 78 Royale. How did they do the ceiling? That is my next project but it seems a leak would ruin it.

The ceiling is tongue and groove (about 1/4" thick) pine panel boards I got from a big box store.
There was a lot of junk wood in the package for the stuff I got, so I had to really pick through it. Even with that, it
was fairly inexpensive; it's not a big space. I varnished the pieces heavily on all sides, so they shouldn't (in theory)
stain or swell too much if there are water leaks. In our coach, the leaks are primarily at the front and back and along the
top rail on either side, so only goes on the plastic panels inside. Or at least that's how it appears so far; water travels. :-/
Before I installed the ceiling, I used polyiso foam insulation panels with radiant foil faces glued with expanding foam onto the
trimmed stock foam (btw, if you do this, you MUST wedge supports under the panels while the foam expands/cures, or it'll push them down/out.)
I taped the edges with foil tape. Anyway, the insulation panels also will tend to move water out to the edges of the ceiling
before it can hit the wood ceiling.
After the wood planks were thoroughly sealed with poly varnish, I glued them in sections to a woven radiant barrier using spray glue
on the backs, and wood glue at the tongues/grooves. That makes it a lot easier to handle them as sections. They do move/swell/shrink
a bit at extremes of humidity change, but have held up pretty well for the 2-3 years it's been in, and it gets a lot of compliments.
I replaced the stock ceiling trim strips with contrasting pieces of wood that match the cherry cabinets.
