That was a nice decription for construction of a framed trailer, but the Rockwood is laminated wall.
Doesn't matter whether construction is conventional framed OR laminated, the GENERAL method of HOW the trailer GOES together IS pretty much the same.
I DID MENTION that construction DOES "vary" some from my description.
Walls and roof are STILL constructed on tables for BOTH TYPES of construction, then lifted and set into place.
The only difference between the two is the inside and outside of the walls are bonded together with some sort of wooden OR metal framing creating a one piece structural panel.
Laminated CAN be "repaired" so to speak but you might not be able to remove the inside wall paneling fully. In this case you would simply remove any loose damaged paneling then GLUE NEW PANELING OVER TOP THE EXISTING GOOD PANELING. While not the best choice, it certainly beats the alternative of SCRAPPING the trailer.
That of course assuming the inside structure is made of aluminum framing (if wood framing all bets are off unless you can remove and replace all rotted wood).
