So the wife and I have been wanting to purchase a popup for years to go camping, and we finally decided to purchase one that needed a little work and could try it out for a few years before we purchased new. Unfortunately we did not realize that the roof had major rot.
I need to somehow repair/replace the roof but do not know where to begin. I am assuming I will need to take down all the ceiling paneling and somehow remove by scraping/sanding the existing rot and then glue new plywood in place. I also need to seal the top and replace the weather stripping around the bottom lib of the roof where it seals with the body when it lowers. Any guidance/pictures/video is greatly appreciated.
I redid all the electrical and the all lighting and outlets work now. I also fixed all the counter tops. The canvas is also in good shape. I discovered the rot because as I was replacing the cable that ran through the tracks attached to ceiling I noticed all the staples were rusted and just pulled out of ceiling. I have a feeling the whole roof will need to be repaired.
I definitely got in over my head, as I did not know what to look for. Lesson learned, but I would still like to try and fix if possible. I debated on trying to just seal everything up and deal with the rot for the next few years, but I worry about mold and the like.
