There was some progress in the last month.
I re-installed the frame and closed off all the fiberglass holes left from removing the
furnace and
fridge. I don't need these vents anymore, since I will be installing a 12V compressor
fridge. I also filled all the holes from shore power and water supply.
For this work, I followed the instructions by Dave White on this forum:

and the youtube videos by BoatWorksToday:

I used the following materials, all sourced from Industrial Plastics in Calgary:
-Marine grade gel coat, waxed
-Marine grade resin, waxed
-Fiberglass matt
-Bondo Body Filler (for repairing smaller holes)
The cutouts I got from
Trillium Outback here in Calgary, that made the job much easier, rather than having to make my own.
Fiberglassing is actually pretty easy once you have all the right materials and tools. A bit messy put I expected it to be much worse. I'm sure my job is not professional but it looks pretty good and the surface is smooth. And when I press on the patches, they are solid. Once it's painted, nobody will notice there were holes once.
Currently I am sanding (this sucks so much ;-), and then I will
paint the outside with Interlux
paint. Updates to follow... (my two small girls want the green band painted in baby pink, we will see...)
Here some pictures of the fiberglass repair:
