Sagging ceiling:

Another view of the ceiling panels ready to fall down.

Storage area floor:

Did not look too bad until I started pulling up the plywood.

Back corner:

After stripping the corner out, the major structural damage is evident everywhere. Note the blackened wood compressing from the rot.

Back corner from side:

After pulling off the siding, I found this.

Same back corner:

This corner was the worst. After removing and cleaning up the rotten wood, there is nothing but the bottom skin left. I left that small piece of corner there to hold up the wall for now.

Overview of corner:

Most of the bad wood is stripped out now. I had to use a broom and dustpan more than a hammer & prybar. It was rotted to nothing.

Replacement starts:

The back and one side up to the wheel well outside framework - replaced with clear fir for strength

Corner of wall:

I had to rebuild the entire wall and storage bay door area for about 4 feet from the back including the top by the roof.

Other back corner:

Looks like this one has to be rebuilt, too.

Bathroom joists:

Most of the joists are now replaced. It was necessary to butt-join them, so I had to add splice pieces to each side. Yes, thats my size 12 in the picture!

Bathroom floor framework:

All the structural members are now replaced. The bathroom floor is solid again. Note the heat ducts have been re-installed as well.

Insulated bathroom floor:

If I'm going to add insulation, may as well do it right and fill the joist cavity. Ready for plywood now.

Marking the centers:

I wrote all the measurements on the outside so I would know where to run the screws.

Floor sheeted:

Finally! New plywood down on the floor. Sure is a lot more solid now.

Floor sheeted 2:

Different shot of the floor re-sheeted.

Floor sheeted 3:

And another view.

Move on further:

Well, I guess its time to move inland.......

Floor by door:

Doesn't look too bad.... or does it? Note the hole by the door.

Floor by door 2:

Yikes!! The whole danged thing is rotten!! What have I got myself into?

White stuff growing:

After removing the plywood, there is all kinds of white stuff growing on the rotten wood. Wall panelling is rotten too.

Under the furnace:

You would think that the heat from the furnace would keep this area dry. Not so. This was the only place in the whole trailer where the white fungus was present.

Front floor area:

Well, I guess I have to completely gut the trailer. Its the only way to fix it right. Most of the plywood is out now.

Hollow shell:

All the cabinets and everything is out now. Now I have a clear space to work:

Converter:

Through all this, I am still hooked up to my shore power and it is still functioning! I have had to be careful, but I am using many of the coach lights and all the 110V plugs.

More hollow shell:

Time to strip out the rest of the rotten floor.

Replacing more perimeter framework:

Got the wall jacked up via the wheel well so I can replace the front structural members

Front framework replaced:

All of the joists have been repaired now. I still think I should push it out into the street and burn it!!

This is too much work!

Ready for plywood:

Many long hours went into this area. All insulated now and the covering for the furnace ducts has been replaced. Additional wiring for 12V plugs has been run. I also ran a wire to the back for backup lights.

New plywood down - finally:

Solid floor at last....... WHEW ! ! That was one heckuva pile of work!

New plywood down - finally #2:

View from back of trailer. No more walking on the joists!

The only original floor:

This was the only piece that was not rotten. Just have to clean it up a bit.
