silversand,
That is what I was afraid you'd find. More and more rot and where will it end? Your time is precious and not having much is free time so selling may make a lot of sense. It hurts but in the long run just might be the best scenario for you. Your time is worth so much to your happiness as your summers are so short anyway where you live which also means the winters are so long. A TC can be replaced but not the time and nerves exhausted fixing the rot and hoping it just won't continue and always be concerned about its structural integrity. Not cheap for you but your Outfitter is already 9 years old and it won't get any younger. Buying a new TC means starting over with no rot and gives new TC'ing/RV'ing life but it does come at a cost. Unfortunately, buying used can be a c__p shoot as who knows what real issues are hidden under the surfaces you see? Good luck with your decision.
