I took some more time working on this tonight and pulled the panel off the other wing to take a look at the rot there.
Heres one side:
Here's the other side:
And finally, I pulled the aluminum panel off the back below the door:
After taking photos to document some stuff, I went ahead and pulled the rotted frame off the bottom:
At this point I think I'm going to go ahead and pull the rear jacks off the camper so I can repair the rot in the wing areas easier, then I can rebuild the panel below the door. I plan to reinforce that area at the same time because I want to try and add a step bumper of some kind. Currently all I have are the bolts for attaching the folding stairs, but I would like to do something better.
After I get those done, I think it would be safe to finally go ahead and re-skin the belly and the box area which is why I originally started this in the first place. Of course, I also have to re-do the plumbing to the tanks, the wiring to the sensors, and a few other random things that I had to take apart in the process of getting this far.
