Me, too. And in the meantime I'm hoping the cost of trailers with super-light composite building materials comes down into the affordable range (for us) by the time I need to retire the Coachmen.

Makes sense to me, I hope you get another 13 years. Look at it this way, that was less than $425 a year.

Thanks so much!! I think it was probably money well spent. You know what you have and a new trailer would have been about 20 thousand. OUCH:E Your appliances should last for years to come, my 1980 trailer that I used to own still has the original appliances in it. You'll be fine! Enjoy
Happy camping, Bill

I was wondering if anybody would ask. :W

Answer - about $5,500. Included the removal and reinstallation of all of the above mentioned items and associated wiring & plumbing, removal of the rotted floor, replacement with new subfloor, new vinyl flooring (entire trailer, not just the afflicted area), extensive caulking in the bathroom (all seams & fixtures) and along the joint of the galley and floor, extensive caulking at roof (front & rear caps), exterior lighting fixtures and exterior appliance fittings and utility fixtures. All systems (gas, water & electric) powered up/pressurized and tested before delivery. The pattern in the flooring is ram-rod straight with respect to the galley & dinette. A new power supply is not included in that figure

To some, this may be an exorbitant amount of money to spend on a 13-year-old coach BUT with a son in college, a new trailer was totally out of the question. DW has a strong attachment to this TT as well, I guess because our kids "grew up" in it. Since underframe, running gear, walls roof and interior are all in top condition, I got essentially a new trailer for that money. My only concern now is appliances, some of which may be nearing the end of their useful life.

How much??? :@ I'm sure others will want to know. I know there are a couple of other people that are contemplating the same repair. Thanks, Bill

Ya know, I didn't even think to take any! I don't have any "before" pix, either. Let's just say it was a huge, dark, ugly stain, and the bathroom floor was rubbery.......

No pictures?
