As my sig shows we have a WW and water damage is synonymous with these trailers.
Early this year, water pooled on the roof (big storm) and essentially the roof caved/bowed in. We still owe on it so selling wasn't an option. I was heartsick about the whole thing. I knew it would be a fortune to fix but we love camping and it is our only vacation option right now.
Short story is we found a place to fix it reasonable and quality, scraped the money together and got it fixed, rotted down wall to window, front cap and four feet back from cap on the top. IT WAS TOAST. But they cleaned it out, reinforced and sealed the roof. It is back to new(not quite new, or better than new actually, when it had a gap in roof from the factory and now is fixed) and we are back to enjoying it.
If it can be fixed, go for it, may work out better than you think.
