Ugh wet wood in Bigfoot

The inspecting dealer should be liable for overlooked damages.
I'd like to hear their response.
With dryrot damage there is 1 main rule.
"it is always several times bigger than you think it is".
What are you skill for DIY repairs? For dryrot who still has some structure holding, I like laminating, but that is another skill that will be needed.

I even asked them if they found any structural or water damage because they said the roof and wall penetrations needed a reseal. They said no. The roof sealant actually looked good to me. I figured I would reseal everything and was just happy there was no water damage.

There is some wet wood on the back passenger wall by the battery and generator compartment. It is the 1-1.5 inch corner block that the jack screws into. It is rotten all the way through to the fiberglass in some spots. Not sure how high it extends, but looks like it may go full up into the generator compartment.

I also found softness on the driver’s side corner (wrinkled vinyl in the shore power box on back wall). This wood may still have some integrity. Then there seems to be dry rot all the way around the back wall low down. As I move upward everything gets solid. The floor seems alright. Only a few soft spots adjacent to the worst, most wet parts of the wall.

I am reasonably handy. Access is the biggest issue I can foresee. So tough to actually get in there to work on stuff.

Honestly, the larger issue is time. I am not sure I want a big project and I am not willing to be a jerk and sell it without disclosing (like the previous seller did to me). I am also doubting the competence of the dealer. It feels like there is not a good option.
