Fix the roof leak first before tackling that damage.

I would rip out all the bad, inspect and then fix the leak. Might help you fixing the leak twice. The demo should take a few hours of hustle.
No idea how much more damage there is. You are seeing what is obvious. The sidewalls very likely got water damage too. Looks like you are taking a very ginger approach to demolition. Inspect both sides of the wall (if you can) or take a gamble and cut an inspection hole in the middle of the damaged wall so you can see the other side.

Is there a fiberglass cap behind that wall? with an air space inbetween? These are the details that are important to know before getting involved deeper. The inspection hole (start small, then until you can fit your head in) might be helpful to know what the construction is. But you should be able to tell just from looking from the outside and to orient what you can see, where the damage starts, and how much further to the actual back of the coach.

Once you get the demo apart. Clean, demold. Clean. You can then stand back and put a restoration plan in place.
Picture of my RV rear wall during reconstruction. Just one possible method.
