Has anyone replaced these? I'm talking about the ~18" panels that are covered with that white cloth that line the inside of the fiberglass shell. I'm looking for ideas on the best method to replace mine, as a lot of them are pretty gamey at this point.

No ideas here for replacing them, I'm afraid, as mine are in good shape. However, if the off-white material on your panels are fuzzy, it's called ozite. The panels on which it is mounted are luan, which I believe is 1/8" thickness.

Ozite is the official name but most Airstreamers call it "mouse fur".
I'm planning to replace ours with aluminum sheets. But most of our mouse fur is in rough shape.

I'm thinking of going with a more vertical panel. The DS wall, we think, will be a cream colored soft touch vinyl. I'm thinking of using a soft touch vinyl in a leather color for the upper panels. I'm hoping by going vertical I can install roller blinds in the windows, as well as getting a nice contrast with the window wall.
I'm positive I'm going vertical in the bathroom area, I just have to work up the nerve to pull the cabinets to replace the panels around the rest of the van. Since I've cut the ceiling out of the back, I think I'm committed to a major remodel, lol.
