Thanks for the video! Yes the header is wood and rotten. The roof is indeed aluminum and the joists in the ceiling are metal. I think we are going to take it one wall at a time.

The roof joists are metal going across and appear to be usable. The perimeters are wood (headers) connected to them with what appears to be 1x something framing, pressed into foam with a disintegrated luan over it all, then a vinyl paper over that. We have taken it down to the foam. We are committed. We work in the remodeling field and are confident. Thanks! The pics are of the driver side wall. In the process of removing gas lines and remaining cabinets. Another thing to mention is that the roof appears to be in decent shape. We plan on replacing the ceiling panels and any wood thats rotten. Thank you again.

Hi, thank goodness for this site! My husband I and recently purchased a 1991 Toyota Dolphin. We think we got a good deal at $1000 and 80,000 miles. Mechanically we think she.s in decent shape, but needs some fixing up. Our concern is with the seemingly entire rotten wood frame of the living quarters. So far we pulled out the couch and eating area and pulled out the overhead cabinets and the whole left wall (drivers side) is rotten. The roof seems to be in OK condition and the sleeping area needs total repair. We plan to finish gutting it and rearrange the space with our own much lighter setup. My questions are - where do we start reframing? What materials are ideal to use and do we have to remove the fiber glass or can we rebuild from the inside? Did we get a good deal? Any thoughts or suggestions would be really appreciated
