Sorry to hear about everything, but that y'all made it out ok. Things can be replaced. As far as all that you mentioned that is wrong with the camper, i'm not sure if its even worth fixing. I know its your only alternative right now and is supposed to be temporary for you. I were you, I would buy a couple cheap tarps and tie them down over the top. As far as the carpet goes, I would rip it out and put the vinyl down as you mention. The gray tank (dish water and stuff), I would imagine can be fixed (sealed). At least a patch job to get you by for a while. You may have to repatch it every now and then. As far as the slide goes, if it works with the temp repair you did, then I would leave it. Put another seal or seal it up somehow around there to keep water out. Mayb duct tape something like that. You shouldn't need the heater right now. If you have power to the camper, you can always buy some cheap electric heaters. Matter of fact, that is probably what you will want to do so you don't go through so much propane. Speaking of propane, are you sure there is some in the tanks? Might be why the stove doesn't work. You may need to purge the lines some. Turn on one burner and put a lighter to it. If it blows it out, then there is air in the line. Keep trying to light it. After about 20 seconds, turn it off and then try again. Do you smell gas when you turn the burner on? As far as the fridge, maybe you can get a cheap dorm fridge. Check craigslist, you might find a used one there for $10 or so.
