Rule of thumb is, if you pull the trim and any screws have rusty heads, you have a water intrusion issue and most likely rot. The heads rust because the wet wood causes an acidic reaction that in turn corrodes the heads of the screws.
At over 100 bucks an hour (typical shop rate) for intrusion remediation plus materials, even a small remediation job can exceed the retail value of a unit.
Ongoing and regular maintenance is the key. A forget about it attitude will destroy and RV in a short amount of time.
