When faced with wing rot,I purchased a Fein oscillating tool ,great for cutting out the rotten sections. The Fein is the top of the line, I don't believe in cheap tools,but $30 will buy you a no name. For splicing the new wood back in, a Kreg pocket hole jig works well.
There is a bothersome chore, re applying the trim. I really believe manufactures use grey butyl tape so RVs will leak and rot, lasting just as long as your payments, so you have to buy new ones. I clean the siding and trim with solvent and use lots of Proflex. It's expensive, slow and messy, but the camper should out last me when I've done all the trim.
Good luck
