So the RV we just recently acquired has an issue in the loft area over the cab of the RV. The front window had a substantial leak that the previous owner neglected. The moment she noticed it, she put a tarp over the front end of the RV, however it looks like it may have gone on for a while before she noticed it. The drivers side of the bunk area is pulling away at the corner. I've attached pictures to show what I'm talking about. It seems that not only is the floor of the area sagging, but the side is pushed out ever so slightly. Most likely from expanding plywood.
This the kind of job that will take a professional? the Fiberglass doesn't appear to be warped or bulging, and I've got an array of tools at my disposal, but a lack of understanding on how these things are all held together. Some of the screws in the molding track are missing and most are just pulled out.
I have already dealt with the leak source and verified that it's not leaking anymore. Now, do I need to get up in the bunk and pull out the sliding bed support and get down to the plywood floor and possibly cut it out... at least portions of it, or will simply letting it dry over a period of time get the expanded wood to shrink back down?
