It looks as if I need to rebuild or replace the roof on my popup.  Any suggestions or help would be appreciated.  Types of wood and steps on how to repair the wood rot on my camper are my biggest questions.  I know in the past i was able to find pictures of people who had done this but now I am unable to find them.  Thanks

I'm not sure if some of the posts got lost during the move, but there was one member who redid her 95 Dutchmen roof.
For starters, use marine grade plywood to replace any wood that is rotted. Waterproof construction glue is another suggestion. A wood scraper will help remove any wood glued to the outside skin. Any joints will be water leakage points, so clean and align them well and use lots of glue and caulk to secure.
Eternabond is a good answer for seams too if you still have leaks.

Ha!  That seems light years ago.

Glad that thread didn't get lost in the move.

Here's the one for the ceiling repairs:
