OP if you are handy you should be able to bring it back takes time, DIY, don't outsource. Wood, fastener, caulk, foam insulation. Should be a good hobby project. IMHO anyone rving it helps to be handy.
There's being "handy" and being a "masochist".
As previously stated, unless it has some sentimental value, just get rid of it at the least cost you can.
If you want to do a home built camper, you might utilize the appliances and cabinets...but I don't think that's what you were looking for.
PS: getting an RV tech to do a rebuild is pretty tough. A friend has some minor water damage to the ceiling of his Class A and he can't get an RV tech to even look at it. They make more money swapping out parts and 3 separate techs said basically, they know there will be more damage once they open it up and then the owner will complain that they are milking the job, so it just winds up giving them a bad reputation while making less profit and a lot of headaches.
I don't nessasarly agree. its like restoring a car, doesnt have to have sentamental value, some people just get satafaction in the process of repairing or restoring things. like to tinker. as for the rv tech thing.. the dealers must pay way higher than up here down there. the guy I know said he makes 10 times more on his own as a mobil repair than he did in the dealership and likes it way better. no watenty repairs with a book time of 25 min that in reality takes an hour and so on. he also works out of a 4x4 van and knows all the spots and is willing to go in to the bush to rescue people.
