Floor & Wall repairs

Question

Hello. I have a 2001 Prowler 27J fifth wheel that I need to repair the left rear floor and wall. I was wondering if anyone would know if there is a way to get information on how this is put together? When I took it apart there is nothing left to tell what was what from the corner to the slide support. The wall and basic floor seem pretty straight forth, but not how it extends to the slide out. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Anytime you are working on some structure and you have torn out all of the old material just go ahead and tear out another few inches or foot into the "good" area.  By looking at what is good and not decayed will show you how the manufacturer put it together. In other words how did he fasten or mount supports and parts.   When I was a young buck with my first house,  I added another section to the house by just duplicating what I saw by crawling into the attic and under the floor.

Howdy,  it would be nice to have a blow up assembly drawing of the structure for repairs, but I bet it you can't get one.  I know I could never find anything like that for any of my campers and all needed wall / floor / wall repair.  But the last one - a Winnebago has that on line. Full electrical , plumbing and pretty good structure drawings. So you are probably going to have to continue taking stuff apart to find out how it is put together.  :You will probably have to make some parts (back up blocks, addtional supports.... yourself.
