Looks like you are doing great. We had an older trailer we loved - with a great interior - that we had to get rid of and buy a new one because DH health would not allow this extensive a repair. But we loved our old trailer and wish we could have saved it. Good luck to you.
One more thought - get someone who knows about these kinds of roofs to look at it. If the roof is older than 12 years you probably need to think about replacing it or recoating it. It would be ashame to do this amount of work and then have another roof failure within a couple of years. As a salesman told me once - it isn't a case of will the roof leak it is WHEN will the roof leak.

Was just having the "roof conversation" with my wife this evening. I expect I'll end up recovering it as the roof is in good shape currently. I've ordered an ADCO All Weather / Wind cover for it during the winter. I am just looking at it as an extra level of protection. The camper sits next to our garage and out of the wind so hope to get a good life span out of it. Have made considerable progress since the last post and will post a few more pics tomorrow possibly. Floor is framed, bottom membrane is reinforced and patched, corner studs are in and siding is all back in place with windows and hatches installed and sealed. Needed to get it done this weekend as I'm gon all week and rain is in the forecast. The interior is next and I think I can get most of that done next weekend. Will do a thorough "rain / leak" check prior to installing the flooring and will do it at various states of level for the camper. Here's the floor framing. Lucked out and the "deck" I built slipped right in. Found a sheeting stapler (1" crown / 1" coated staples) to be pretty much identical to what the factory used for assembly and what a difference that made.
