Just bought a '96 Coleman Sante Fe in very good shape except for the exterior door. It was sagging quite a bit so I went to tighten up the screws on the piano hinge and they all twisted freely. I popped out the screws, then popped of the exterior aluminum trim and discovered that the wooden core was completely water logged and rotten. My question is what should I replace the wood with? Has anybody ever had to do this repair? Things to be aware of? Problems? Suggestions? Thanks in advance.
This is what I did to replace the wood core. PT is expensive and I didn't need all the extra so I bought 2 precut pieces of regular plywood, 1/4" and 3/4" at Home Depot. Laminated them with exterior wood glue. Cut to size. Put two coats of post treatment used for direct contact in wet conditions. Done.
