water damage rapaired....but

[maryo1944]

We saw a spot of daylight under the cabinet. Crawed underneath and we have more damage than we thought. The bottom of the storage box in the front of the pop up has rot. I've gone thru 100 pages of the Mr. Fixit forum and found good suggestions on repair.

We were able to replace the bottom in two pieces with out removing the trunk, which would have involved removing cabinets and paneling in the front of the trailer in order to get to it's side fastenings. The job took up most of a Saturday and a sixpack of Yuengling brown pop...
