How to repair truck camper water damage? Or, do a truck camper cabover rebuild?

Old, aging RVs, campers, trailers, and truck campers all have the same nemesis. It is water leaks. Water leaks create wood rot which in turn create structural integrity problems. Our old Lance 1130 came to us with water damage in the floor and rear skirts. Plus de-lamination in the cab over. The cab over continued to sprout leaks through the window and the clearance lights. Now we're doing a tear down, removing the window, replacing the lights and going with a fiberglass surface to permanently stop future water damage.

This is the 2nd of 2 videos and we gut the front of the truck camper. After rebuilding the structure see how the fiberglass restoration looks in the end. Video 1 is how we tore out the floor and repaired the water damage including a fiberglass resin for future water proofing needs.
