The RR of the trailer is gone.What is a RR?
If there isn't anything inside that is in the way of the rotten area, you can start by removing the interior paneling. You will find rotted framing. Replace it. If the ceiling rafter ends are still whole, no worries. If the ends are rotted, ledger in new ends back to solid material. If the floor is sound, no worries. If the floor sheathing is spongy, there is rotting in the floor joists and flooring sheet. Replace it.
These can be time consuming repairs but material cost is not that bad. I restored my Starcraft from the interior, the whole enchilada, and material price was around $500, including all the insulation.
