I just bought a 2004 Star Starcraft Travel Star. Its damaged from water, so I got a good deal on it, and I think between hubby and I we can handle the gutting, Its the rebuilding I'm concerned about. ...

You will find out the extent of the damage after you have walls opened and floor uncovered.
FWIW, I restored a '71 Wanderstar, full gut out and rebuild. It too, had framing and floor damage from water leaks. It took me 6 mos. of nearly full-time work to get it all done right.
My flooring is 5/8" CDX plywood attached to wood joists. I'm not sure about Starcraft's construction material evolution. You will find out what you have when uncovered.
If you need process-specific answers, PM me with details or post in this thread. FWIW, I'm a semi-retired Residential Building Contractor.
Most restorations involve tedium. That is the sweat-equity payment you make. Commit to a longer than anticipated work schedule and don't lose momentum. There are a lot of gutted and never completed project trailers out there. Good luck!
