I was told...the wall, floor, ceiling, and nose all POSSIBLY may need fixed. Again, I don't pretend to know it all but, it's already been totalled and the shop man, whom is a trusted member kf our community, said to run from this, as the damage is happening so quickly. I can't help but wonder if there is something wrong with the manufacturing process that would cause rapid deterioration such as this.
To me, it's pretty straight forward. You have a broken pin box frame causing the exterior to buckle. It moves enough so that the seal is lost between the nose/wall trim and the side wall. When the seal is gone, water is able to migrate into the interior, causing even more damage. The reason "fast" is used in thes context is that the glue that holds the Luaun board to the fiberglass is separating fast due to it's solubility with water. If you want slowness, eliminate the water part.
FWIW, my trailer was a lot more damaged than this when I bought it. I could put my hand through the hole between the siding pieces on the driver's side wall. It was exactly what I was looking for. I rebuilt the trailer and now have a well insulated and constructed RV. I'm sure there is another guy in Ohio that could either restore it for you or would buy it in the condition, presently. Leaving it out in the rain is only diminishing it's value and the ease of restoration.
