Not sure this is the right place to put this. Any handyman out there? I do have some money to put into it, but not $15,000! I am based out of Kansas, but driving someplace maybe worthwhile, and I don't need to live in it while it's being fixed. If no one wants to take it on, any good videos of the process? I know a good mechanic/general handyman, but he doesn't know rv's.
I have a 1976 Dodge Eldorado Sportsman with a 440 in it. It's a 22 foot class C. Had a wind storm damage the roof and have evidence of wood rot other places. The engine is great, it just got 4 new tires and a welded cargo carrier on the bumper. I love the layout, I have twice the counter space of rv's twice my size. I thought I should get it deskinned and all the wood checked out. Called two places here in Kansas and it sounded like it would be upwards of $15,000. What are your suggestions? Maybe it would be worth driving it to Texas, NM, or AZ if there is a cheaper place down there?
