I have already pulled 720lbs of "stuff" out and hauled it to the dump. Here are some pics of it currently:

In the pic above you can see the elevated floor area. It goes back for over 60" and houses nothing except the freshwater tank and storage from outside hatches. That's all coming out so I'll have the main level go that much further forward.
Here are some more pics:
The worst rot was at the seam between the front of the siding and the start of the roof. It's rotted all the way across and down each side. I don't think it got the floor at all - in fact, the floor is solid everywhere in this trailer. So, the major framing is the front wall, roof, and a few feet of each side.


Like I mentioned before, still debating between chopping 2 feet of height off this thing to decrease wind resistance or just leaving it. I'm thinking if I leave it I might be able to build a 3 level bunkhouse so each of the boys has his own bed/cubby hole. I've played with some ideas in CAD, but really need to mock up the ideas in the trailer for a better feel of the space.
The tub/shower that was in there is huge - takes up a 40" square area, and the access is in one corner which means it takes even more room to allow you to get in/out. Thinking a 24" x 36" shower stall makes more sense...
