Getting Better
I’ve taken the air-con out of the van and need ideas on what to cover the hole with or to disguise it, I will be filling it with expanding foam and cover with ply so it will be the same level as the ceiling, the hole is around 400x400 so need something a little larger.
A ceiling light is about a foot away so don’t need a light there. The van/ceiling is covered in this sponge backed vinyl and I don’t like it so will probably rip it out and replace in the future.. but I need to do something for now ( a few years 😆)

Come on get your thinking hats on…..😎

Edit: air-con came out because solar panels are going on the roof….

Has to be some kind of motif. Do you know anyone with an artistic streak?

What about a piece of perspex

You can get types of perspex that when heated it would mould and form over any roof ribs etc to enable a better seal......probs a major PITA to do like!

Maybe a piece of cardboard painted with your favourite view and stuck on with blutack as a temporary fix.
 
Oh for the interior the ceiling I see..... something personal you love looking at :giggle:
 
I would consider something totally contrasting to the current roof covering and just attach a piece of ply covered in the contrasting fabric/material. Perhaps that matches or picks out a colour from the seating, backsplash, carpets?

Cut the ply into a fancy curved shape so that it looks intentional, even space it off slightly from the roof and then mount some LEDs/lighting strip between it and the ceiling or mount some LEDs utilising the void where the air con was?

I posted this on your other thread:

Copy cat! :giggle:
As there is wiring there, why not make a recessed light feature from perspex ie

I was going to suggest a 12v roof fan with a decorative panel behind it, something like the below, but then I remembered the Gremlins film! :LOL:
