2006 Hallmark Ute rotted wood repair
I'm going to start off my first post by saying I've been perusing this site for sometime, and have learned a lot...espcially lubing Happy Jacks. My wife and I have had this Hallmark Ute for a year....

Impressive. I was feeling sorry for my self, in the last stages of rebuilding passenger side skirt- and your rebuilding entire camper. Still feeling sorry for myself but impressed with your progress.
I back tracked a bit but I didnt see what your actual plan is, it appears your rebuilding entire structure, wall wise? Are you going to replace-inplace an entire wall, separating from internal siding, wiring plumbing, cabinets etc? Looks to be getting close to a complete scratch build...just curious how the new framing will be incorporated into existing camper.
On the wing floor 'cept camper is setting on it. But could you cut out the bad, replacing with =thickness as wall sets on it, then bond another sheet full length under wing. That would tie patches, make contiguous. Walls could also tie. I think? your reusing sideing, so that might be issue with the added 3/8-1/2" thickness.
Good call on the jacks back up plate.
Im unsure how that front mount pulling on unframed ply bottom (middle of span?)worked. I added some 1 1/2" angle welded to jack plate extending to just beyond the mount and welded. More on ours to spread the weight when on the jacks but does add a little more downward pull strenght.
