I have a new, to me, 19 foot trailer. It needs several small repairs including some dry rot in the floor that needs replaced. Any suggestions for a quality repair at a reasonable price?

IMO, the best thing is try and part it out or just take it to the dump. You could abandon it down here on the Duwamish for use as a plunkers roost. Most of these things are built as light and cheap as possible. I would take it to a RV shop to get it checked out, they will happily find all sorts of things rotted. If you have dry rot in the floor it was caused by water leaking in around the windows and or the roof which also may have rot in structure (wood). I mistakenly bought a camper that was dry rotted in the roof, repaired it myself, pain in the neck. Had to learn all about how RV's are constructed. Just got it done and the drunk across the street forgot to set the brake on his car which rolled out of his driveway and went under the camper that was up on blocks and then fell on his car. He had no insurance, the cops said it was a civil matter. He finally paid for the repair. The repair was very expensive is what I remember. I picked the cheapest shop. Did a good job. They are now out of business. Sorry, after reading all that I have no good suggestions.

The rot is only in one corner where a shower fixture leaked. But thanks for sharing.

Take it to the dump, there's no use trying to repair dry rot.

I used this on my old wood boat when I did the first tear down and refinish on it. http://www.rotdoctor.com/ Applies as a thin liquid, like a varnish, not like West Systems thick stuff. Brush on, a number of coats as it seeps into the rotted areas, let cure. Is it just the floor?

Water ran to one front corner then the other. Its not all that bad.

Just got it done and the drunk across the street forgot to set the brake on his car which rolled out of his driveway and went under the camper that was up on blocks and then fell on his car. He had no insurance, the cops said it was a civil matter. i'm sorry but that really made brewer laugh bigtime! thanks, cause i needed a good laugh this evening!
