Welcome!
Cool camper.
Do your homework before gutting it. Photograph every detail before beginning. And have fun.

How does the ceiling in a riveted camper get wet? Leaking roof vent?

Thanks! I've taken lots of photos. There's just about no info on these olds things to be found, so it'll be a learning experience.
The trailer wasn't riveted, it was all held together with nails - I'm sure it was a WWII cost saving measure. The panels are coming apart along the seams, and I wouldn't doubt the roof vents could be a leak source too. I haven't had the chance to dig too deep yet - waiting for the new VIN before I strip it right down.

I would guess this one's still to be repaired from the inside. I can't imagine removing nails to lift the skins? Be interesting to learn what you discover about it.
