Ah, Soup:
How I feel your pain. My Shasta Compact had no attachment between the walls and the floor for the rear 2/3rds of the camper because of rot. The roof had sunk 4 to 6". All of the framing had to come out. But in the end, it was a solvable problem. Now. all is well.
Best wishes,
Pod

only what I have found so far. there is no"WOOD" here just wet sawdust.    On the bright side, The hole at the bottom right did work well for clean-out of the wet sawdust and slivers.. |

After looking at these pictures I have decided that even with all the rot my current project had it was nearly perfect.  |

inmoore it looks like you have thicker walls. One inch framing at least if not bigger. That's great. My Deville was that way and the Foresters are that way. I love it when the framing is bigger than 3/4 inch. |

I saved this fix of the rot on our loflyte.. I have not stumbled on anymore this bad on our unit.. but the winters not over either. I start pulling the door frame in a few weeks.. cross your fingers.. I like to use Marine Grade Plywood on skirts.. w/3 coats of exterior latex. It's left over paint, but still good.  |
