Camper Trailer help
OK, heres the deal, yet anotehr project in the making, just as I'm wrapping the last things up on my ProLine, I run accross a deal on a 91 Wilderness 22 camper tariler. My wife an I have discussed getting a trailer many times, her familly grew up taking their popup/trailer/motorhome/5thwheel camping from one camp ground to another. I have to admit, their last 5th wheel was pretty nice, 38' single slide. This little Wilderness would be a great start, and I can pull it with a half ton. The price is prety good, and it was kept up pretty good till recently. Here comes the project part. I tree limb broke the antenna off the roof, water leaked in, teh area around the antenna looks pretty bad, some kind of delaminated wood, goining to have to replace a good size panel. Water leaked onto the cabinet top and ruined the cabinet around the sink. Everything else on this camper works, heat, air, refridge, head, etc. Its kinda small. I can get it pretty cheap. Any of ya'll ever repaired a roof in a camper trailer, I know nothing about them. Everything else looks prety solid, frame tires, axles, etc.

No clue my friend, I have used them all my life and have a Jayco 21C now but have never done any structural repairs to them. They are all constructed differently, materials and technique wise.

Rubber membrane, tin or aluminum?
Then it don't really matter, I've not actually done the work, only witnessed it. The Goodyear membrane was about the same as patching a bicycle tube when you was a kid but some people will place a patch beneath and over the tear. The membrane material is sometimes hard to find, usually from a commercial/industrial roofer. I have seen aluminum holes and tears patched with pop rivets and sealed with 5200. I know this is not much help.

aluminum top, supported by some type of cheap plywood. It appears teh water leaked around the screw holes, that rotted teh wood, then the antenna broke, allowing more water to enter. I'm going to take a better look at it next week

Don't know if it was correct repairs but the seen the wood structure replaced with white wood screwed and then glued with White Lightning, adds flexibility. Interior facial was whatever paneling would match pretty good.
