Water damage

I just found a roof leak around the radio antenna or wifi extender. Fiber board on side of fridge is swollen. Can I get a replacement that will look like the original board? It's chalked so I hope the radio which kept cutting off will work.

pics of the seal leak on the roof too. Want to see what condition your seals were. I just resealed some questionable joints last fall.

I am working from a campground in the rain. Got a picture of interior not the roof. I could feel moisture from the WIFI Ranger wire so I know that's where the leak is. I pulled cover off of Ranger, it was dry inside. Water must have gotten thru a seam in the lapseal. I think I may just remove it from the roof and patch the hole. I just don't want to do a hack job of repair as the camper is in good shape for 2018. Pic to follow if I can.

I would just wipe it clean/dry and put some gorilla tape around it rather than yank it in the field, till you get home and can do it proper.

Looks like that side panel might be that thin paneling. In any case, FR may be your best bet at finding a matching panel. You don't have anything in your signature line indicating your make/model/year. The newer, the better chance they have matching panels. If it's not particle board, you may be able to just glue it/staple it back into place.
