If it is spotty, there is a liquid that you can infuse into it that will harden it up.  If substantial, cut it out anf replace it.  I have no idea however what a Salem 2001 is.   ;)  If there is dry or any other rot, that means, of course, that there has been water there at some point.  The first order of business is to figure out where and prevent future leaks.

It's a 2001 salem by forest river . I guess my first step will be to pull the bed and paneling out and see where it came from and fix the leak . Good project for after the season .

Hope it hasn't affected the support structure or you'll be fixing it before the season ends have one corner dragging

Dry Rot is not fun. Rebuilt a few TTs. Floors, sidewalls and such. Where is it located?

If you find the leak DO NOT use sillycone on it :yike: Use Dicor for Virtical surfaces I'll try to help as much as I can. Don't go rippin a bunch of stuff out, you'll need it for patterns
