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....

This has been a truly amazing journey. Every reader on here with a wood frame is thinking, "There but for the Grace of God go I." A few probably have a similar disfunction/rot problem but don't know it is lurking just behind the sheathing.
When i needed a tie-down area repair, the excellent RV workman took only the siding he needed to take off, just chasing the rot. I asked him about using modern glue techniques instead of his industrial stapler, like the factory uses, and he said glue joints on wood would not hold up to the racking, but those 1-1/2" W staples would. With your space age materials whatever the pros recommend is what to do. You certainly have no fear about worrying your way through the project. My piddling little fix (compared to yours):
Can you come with us on our around the U.S./boundary state tour?
