Pop Up Camper Roof Rot Removal and Replacement

- In this video I cut out a portion of a pop up camper roof and replace it.
There was lots of wood rot on the back panel of this camper roof. I cut it out and replaced it, then fiber-glassed the seam.
There are lots of ways to fix this type of rot, this was what I was able to do in my driveway on a cheap budget.

Happy Trails!
You’ve got some pretty good skill level there. I have the same problem with an 05, but don’t know if I want to mess with doing all that it rains a lot where I live but I admire your dedication fixing that great job.
Thank you for this video. I just bought the same camper and thought it was solid but just found rot on the roof ends the same as you. It was tremendously helpful to see how it's all put together before I dig into it.
Glad I could be of help! I don't know that this is the "right" way to do it but it works and isn't hard to source the parts. Make sure to keep up with caulking and that will help shed water, we lapsed a bit and it got us
once the fiber glass was sanded back, using some body filler and some textured spray paint like bed liner before putting the roof paint on would have helped a ton on smoothing things out. good part with these campers you can always go back and make things look better now that you fixed the underlying problem
Logo looks great!
Thank you for the great idea
yes, i have this exact same issue on my dutchman! thanks for the video!
My rot is the left side, at both ends where threaded inserts for the latch hocks are screwed, middle section feels good. And sandwiched because inside panel fiberglass also.
You’d think that after all this time, manufacturers would start using a no-rot, no-mold material instead of wood and chip board. It’s like falling off a motorcycle… wood rot isn’t a matter of if, but WHEN.

You rock dude. I’ve got the same exact trailer but I like your ambition and skill. I’m just gonna sell it for low price and disclose what’s up.
Plenty of ambition, not sure about the skill. It doesn't look 100% but it has survived several rain storms now and doesn't leak! 😊
FRP... I never knew what that stuff was!!! I think I'm gonna do some "spot" repairs on mine. I have a damaged corner of the roof and the back panel of the roof. I could cut off the bad sections pretty handily as I have the same cutter you used.
I think it's mainly for kitchen/bathroom walls, but it worked well for our camper
Think im just gonna pull the rot from the inside, and fiberglass like you did but not touch the exterior.
Why not some sort of pressure treated plywood? The factories could design something more durable. Its a shame that they make someone like you or me do repairs like that. Even if the wood was treated with some sort of deck/patio waterproofing it would be an improvement over the choices the factories made.
Some older popups had fiberglassed roofs. I think the Coleman style campers. All comes down to cost.
