Packrat damage- even worth fixing?

[jmkjmk]

Hi there 🙂 We have a 2005 Frontier Explorer (28') that we just purchased in the summer of last year. We own mountain property a few hours outside of Denver. Anyway- to the issue. It *was* a beautiful trailer. We went up to check on the property and trailers and found a jaw dropping (in my opinion!) scene- a packrat (or several?) had somehow made it's way in (I still don't know how- it's SO sealed up!) and literally damaged everything. Electrical, trim around most cabinets/counters, blinds, plumbing hoses, and pooped/peed on EVERY solid surface imaginable (did you know their pee is pretty much the consistency of tree sap? holy cow.). I'm attaching pictures for your viewing displeasure- what on earth do we do? Is it even worth cleaning up (we cleaned for a few hours, but dang- it's so bad) and repairing all the wood/electrical/plumbing? Where would we even start? I'm heartbroken- it was such a nice trailer!

Thank you!!

That is so sad.
I can only imagine the smell and all the urine over everything.
I honestly don't know how it can be fixed but I wish you the best of luck.

Unfortunate.

It doesn't take much of a hole for them varmints to squeeze through.

Doubt if you would ever recoup the cost to repair if you ever sold it. Might be better to sell it to an RV salvage company for the parts they can use.

It's not insured... yeah, I know. I'll smack my own hand.

See what your insurance will cover. Looks totaled from here.
