I called a local trailer shop that does fabricating and repairs as well and they charge $150 an hour. I would expect the work to be done for less than 1K but would be willing to pay up to 2. Its a National RV Palisades and it was kept under cover when not in use. The roof is in amazing condition which is the real stand out for a trailer of this age. The owners say it was used at least once in the last couple of years. It seems like it was a premium trailer for its time and still outshines many of the NEW trailers we've looked at. To answer your question, I'm pretty comfortable with RV repair at this point. We've been full timing in a 1998 28 foot Class C for the last year and half. I nearly completely rebuilt the bunk and right wall as well as completed many maintenance and customization projects on the rig as well.
