Great video. I had the same problems. All wood frame for front and back are rut out. I had to replace with bigger support bracket and install some insulation to prevent any moisture and cold from entering the camper.
Wildly informative and detailed! Great video and good ideas. My brother and I took his back panel off and experienced similar rot patterns and some rough repairs from likely the previous owner. Will definitely be using this video as a template while we work!
This was so helpful! We just bought a project and the guy before us left it outside and uncovered and the ENTIRE back was rotten. We’re working on this part currently.
Just what I've been looking for too! Thank you so much. I was trying to decide if I wanted to tackle this or get rid of the camper. Now that I know what is involved, I can give it a shot. Thanks again for posting this!
This is the video I've been searching for I was given a 95 model the had been hit in the back right corner by a lawn mower and had let water in and rotted the wood I will be trying to do this project soon
How did you remove the plastic molding that’s on each side holding the fiber glass panels? And did you reinstall it after you were finished? I have the same issue you did and I’m thinking about tackling this on my own..😬😬
I just bought a pop up and the floor in the back left corner is rotted and I think the back wall and side wall is too. The back corner sags down a bit but the frame is level. Thoughts?
Would you please explain step by step how to get started, what to remove first, second, etc. Also, what screws did you use to replace the factory screws? Thanks!
First off is the platic channel covers on each of side trim. Screws for the trim are behind these. Second, the aluminum corner pieces and metal strip across the top come off. From there, the back wall panel will drop down. I used stainless steel screws to avoid any future rust/breaks.
I was wondering how difficult it would be to speak with you briefly about this project. I need a small word of encouragement or otherwise. I just acquired a 1994 jayco pop up.
Remove the rubber runner on the metal corner caps. Removed corner caps and you will find the panel is only held on with paneling nails along the edges.
Hi, great video, I'm in the process of doing mine. Exact same set up and problem as yours. That foam padding is expensive- is it necessary to have something like that? My cardboard was also in bad shape, trying to think of something similar for that rather than the foam. Thank you.
That back panel does need some support/stability. Maybe multiple layers of corrugated cardboard or corrugated plastic? Or expanding spray foam, if you block off where the panel will hit framing?

Hope all goes well. A good chance to rebuild it better than they did.

Glad it helped. Good luck. Sold my camper last year, but it was a great help to show the new owner that it is more robust than it was when made.

@Josh meacham . Hope it will be of some help. Be prepared to see more fixes once your shell is peeled back. Good luck
What did you use adhesive to reattach the aluminum to the world
Thank you for this video! Same issue where spare tire is!!
Glad it helped you tackle it. Good luck.
Is the rear panel flush with the rear side corners?

How did you remove the exterior panel?
Remove the rubber runner on the metal corner caps. Removed corner caps and you will find the panel is only held on with paneling nails along the edges.

@@lovegun1414 Thanks, all good ideas. I like the foam padding you used, just hard to find in small quantities.
I have this same problem but worse. What size screws did you use?
Hi.. used stainless steel 1.5 inch screws on new wood to avoid corrosion. Reused screws on corned metal channels that have plastic cover strips.
