What a mess.
Well, to start with, let this be a lesson to everyone about getting a proper pre-purchase inspection before buying.
As to your situation, obviously the first item of business is to determine the extent of the damage and remove all the damaged components.
Second, stop the water leak. Obviously, I would peel up the roof in the upper bunk area to see how much of the wood under the EPDM is damaged. Might as well correct that while you are doing this.
Finally, finish the rebuild.
If you decide to have it professionally done, you're probably looking at between $3500 and $4000 for an upper bunk rebuild.
All things considered, I'd probably cancel my October camping trip.
