So is it a DIY capable? I’m very handy and do most home and car repairs but haven’t done a TT before.

This depends on the manufacturer and model. Typical wall are 2x2 studs. If it has aluminum siding the exterior sheathing is probably 1/4" plywood. Interior is usually luan plywood. Nothing really tricky.
Some models use aluminum studs and Azdel sheathing. Azdel should not rot, but the Filon flexible skin can delaminate.
This is a big job. The average DIYer could spends months working nights and weekends.
