How much will a total rebuild cost do you think? I have an estimate for $1400 from our carpenter just for labor, so maybe that's the way to go. The camper is 8' and the roof is mainly taken up by a 5' skylight. I did find a gentleman on this site with the same camper, but can't get his pics to load. :(
I'm $5000 into my restoration project of a vintage unit for materials.

I'm thinking to just take the aluminum off one side at a time, reframe, and then put the aluminum back on, and then the roof? It's currently under tarps and is dry despite heavy rains this summer.
Be careful with the siding, odds are its lap joint type aluminum, which goes on and comes off in a specific order and these days costs a mint to replace.
You better start here to give you an idea of what a full tear down restoration is going to look like :).
