Looking for suggested fix

[The Toaster]

Looking for suggestions on how to fix this mess on the ceiling of our trillium trailer. Or ideas for covering it with something practical.

Welcome to the forum.

What is the diameter of the bolt/hole pattern?

Lowe’s and Home Depot sell a product used for shower wall. The pattern looks about the same as your surface pattern. You could put it up with double backed tape. Of course you’d have to push the wires up in the hole.
Any idea what this was used for?

Personally I would try cleaning,the mess up with something like Awsome cleaner possibly lightly using a scotch rite pad. Once clean put a SS screw in the screw holes. Maybe use a bit of Dicor or some other white caulk to fill the big holes. You should be able to match the texture pretty well with a little practice and patience. Worst case paint the ceiling using a off white paint

I would put a towel or cloth over it that had a pretty decoration on it. Or maybe a large sticker of an American flag.

ok, I'll bite. What was there? Is that daylite showing through?

Thanks for all the ideas! It was an overhead radio and cassette player... 40 years old.

Maybe a Canadian flag since we are Canucks!

The hole has epoxy and fiberglass on top.

We won’t hold that against you.
Oh and welcome to the forum.

Nah, 'old' would be an 8 track tape. My pickup came with a cassette player and it can't be that old, because that would make me older...

That looks like it once was a light fixture.. might be possible to put one over it.

John, The OP said it was a overhead radio and cassette player.

If you can't hide it draw attention to it... how about pieces of door trim in a square pattern with something like a smoke detector in the middle. Paint everything white.

Missed that but the same advice applies.. Replace with an overhead radio "media" (CD/Blue Ray/MP3 USB stick/SD card) player
