0/10, would not fucking recommend. This is a pain in the ass. It being hotter than the devil's taint is not helping

At least it's only the front four feet not the whole thing. It's a toy hauler pop-up and the previous owner rarely used it and left it stored tongue high. That allowed water the pool up and seep in where the cargo deck meets the camper box. Of course, that front four feet is where you're forced to deal with the power box, water heater and furnace.
I don't feel your pain because I doubt I would bother.
Have fun.

Lid and walls go first.....

Yep, been there. Don't have fond memories, accept I did it in the winter.
FYI, don't mix bleach and vinegar to kill the mold. Had no idea I'd made chlorine gas
. Kinda hurts the lungs.

Lid and walls are super solid. The leak was the base of the box up against the cargo deck. We pulled the diamond plate off the front of the box to check it.

Oof. 🤣
Fortunately there's going to be nothing left to kill. We're able to cut well back into good wood going four feet back.
I just did it myself, it's in my travel trailer tips and tricks thread. Was a pretty easy job. You just need the right tools.
been there done that, NEVER buy a trailer that has spent anytime in FL!
Meh, with the tools available today it would be a piece of cake. Could probably do it all with a cordless multi tool, saws all and a circular saw, a few screws and done :) I've done a boat floor and that was a beotch!
What the hell is a pop up toy hauler? I can't wrap my head around this one.....

Well, the part I was most concerned about is successfully done. Floor rebuilt and the lift mechanism reinstalled and tested to work. Sent the wife to Lowe's to pick out the flooring of her choice so that when she starts bitching about not liking the flooring in a year or two I'll remind her that it was 100% her choice at the which point it'll be 100% my fault for not helping her choose. I'm well aware that's a no win situation so I'll just sit here and drink beer in the AC knowing something about this flooring choice will be my fault at some point in the future and one option would have me at Lowe's looking at shit I don't care about and the other option has me sitting here drinking beer. I choose B.

The one I bought is a lot bigger. It's a little over 27' hitch to bumper. The cargo deck is 8' and the camper box is 14'.
Fein saw, skil saw, impact driver, hand tools. Took I think 5 evenings to get it apart, fixed, and reassembled.
Been there too. Fuck campers.
Most excellent non choice.
I was gunna say "I did not know woemannnz would blame you for their choices"
But then realized we are men...
And no one would believe

Love it. This is the kind of stuff you'll hear from an old man with a white beard that sits on top of a mountain that you had to climb for 4 days to get a bit of his wisdom.
