Follow up, project done. The coroplast was around $170 from the dealer. The install took me several of weekends when I could devote some time to it. I learned some tricks along the way that I'll hopefully never have to try again. Main thing being to use jacks or blocks or whatever is handy to hold the sheet up against the camper underbelly. My original plan was to just start at one corner and keep it aligned as I progressed with screwing the new sheet back on. Eventually I'd use other means to hold up the coroplast but I didn't think it would be necessary at first. I should have just done it from the start, it would have helped make it easier to keep aligned as I progressed because despite my best efforts it still got out of alignment as I progressed. What I ended up using was a stool beneath the camper with bottle jack on top of the stool and then a roughly 2'x4' sheet of plywood on top of the bottle jack. I'd raise the jack and plywood until it pressed the coroplast up so all sag was removed. Then I'd start screwing it onto the frame. I'd move the jack setup along with me as I progressed.
Good info, thanks for following up.
