First post! thank you for having me here!
I inherited a free 73 Shasta and had hoped to fix the leak for easy weekend getaways. When I got out to look at it though, the damage is pretty bad. Wood on the walls are rotting in places, and there is a decent size sag in the ceiling as well as the cabinets coming loose and swelling. I know that the bathroom and appliances are no good, but really all I wanted was just a shell for the kids and I to sleep in. I am fairly handy and don't mind heavy labor, but is it really safe or even worth the time, effort and money to fix?
My plan was to get rid of the rooftop ac and install a solid corrugated metal roof, but did not count on the walls being so bad.
Opinions and suggestions are appreciated!

to VTT. After reading your description of the free camper and your thought to put a corrugated roof on whatever you would create. In answer to your question in the thread topic...
