Unfortunately, fixing all of the things you list it will be more cost effective to look for a replacement unit that is serviceable.
If your wanting the project reasons other than saving money, I'd look for RV surplus stores. There are many in northern Indiana but shipping cost would eat you alive. Large pieces will have to be truck shipped.
The metal siding is probably aluminum. I bought some replacement panels from All-Rite. Back then they had shops in CA and Conyers, GA. These are long panels and have a crating charge on top of the shipping via truck. When I ordered mine they were super fast on delivery and a perfect match.
Check out Filon. Then your going to get into adhesives that will bond it to wood framing and the insulation without melting the insulation.
Mold and rot. One area, cut it out and reframe. Multiple large areas, it's time to think about tearing it all down and starting over like they did at the factory. (See first Paragraph).
Been there done that.
