A short update on progress, I have replaced all the rotted frame work of the camper and reinstalled the aluminum skin. We had had some pretty heavy rains while in the process of doing this. Since I am working outside, I had to put a tarp over the camper a few times. I replaced the framework on the back corners with 2x4's instead of the original 2x2's. Before replacing the aluminum skin, I wrapped all the exterior edges with a self sticking rubber flashing, purchased at Lowes. this will hopefully prevent any water from reaching the frame work, if it does happen to get through the edges and trimwork. I only have a few pictures, which I will post below. The door was completely rotten, so I disassembled it and also rebuilt the framework and added solid styrofoam for insulation.







The outside is now ready to be painted, which will have to wait for warmer weather.
