Wow! is all I can say, I just traded a 15 year old chainsaw for a 1979 Dodge Sportsman RV. It has almost 51,000 miles on it but it has been sitting for 3 years. I put a little gas in it, poured a little into the carb, and she fired right up and ran pretty darn smooth. The roof has been linking, I say for almost 3 years. It looks like the worst rot is on the drivers side near the back. I have noticed that the roof is sagging a little where the a/c unit is.
I know nothing about RV's and I'm not much a carpenter. So all this is going to be a task for me. I don't have anyone to help or show me how, so I guess I have to learn it and do it all by myself. Your photos has shed some light on what I'm about to get into. So if I can't do it, I guess I'll have a flatbed truck with a hole in the roof!
