Hi RVers, Well, we purchased this RV 2 months ago and are now planning a trip for Oct so thought I'd go clean it out and this is where I'm at (see pics). The outside walls are loose and we were to...

Do you have a way to shelter it while it's torn apart? I guess a tarp could work if it's big enough, and is secured well.
I think the same way as Mocoondo. In for a dime, in for a dollar. If you are going to fix it, do it right. It will be a lot more labor to do it right, but not a lot more money. I think DaHose's dollar amount is a good number.
If you want to legitimately cut corners, do look up the Rot Doctor CPES stuff. If anything can fix some wood in place, that will be it. I'm speaking from experience.
Otherwise, if you can't bring yourself to do what it takes, dump it now and take the loss. Someone with the desire to fix it will probably still give you 3 or 4 thousand for it.
PS: Don't overbuild it by using bigger wood. All that does is make it heavier, which is not good. The problem was not due to the small light wood used.
PPS: If you need how to advice for a task, just ask here. All the skills can be learned quickly. Well, I don't expect you to need to weld like DaHose had to do. But you will need some carpentry skills, like how to run a saw, or to find a helper who can.
