i bought a 34 ft 2005 class a rv a few weeks ago. A tech and I inspected it; the owner said there had been a leak on the passenger side roof corner and was fixed. unfortunately I did not inquire more about it and did not communicate to the inspector.
Today, I was washing the roof with lots of water in preparation for coating the roof when I noticed the passenger side, right in the corner, the carpet got very wet so it seems the leak had not been properly fixed after all. I can fix the roof leak, the problem is that on closer inspection it seem in the wall below the passenger's window right next to the corner of the vehicle, there is a ~8 inch x 8 inch part of the inside wall that is very soft and when I tried to remove a outlet in such area and the two screws stripped which pretty means the part the wood behind the wall is rotten.
How screwed I am?
Should fix the leak and ignore the ~8 inch x 8 inch of the wall that is rotten, is that going to grow even with the leak fixed? Should I cut the wall and replace the rotten wood behind?
The floor seems not comprised and as it is firm but it is carpet so it hard to know
I checked every inch of wall in the entire motorhome and everything is hard
Help and advice is appreciated
