In your rebuild, did you have an aluminum outer skin, or something else? If aluminum, did you try to salvage it or change to fiberglass? Understanding this will have a huge impact on how to begin the tear down.

Right, so the 2000 that I rebuilt had fiberglass outer skin so it's a bit of a different beast. I'm not exactly sure how the aluminum is affixed to the different layers that make up the wall but I guess it would be the same. I know I've seen some work that has been posted about tow-lites with some similar aluminum skins where window replacement was underway. See if you can dig that up and get a look at that, it could be revealing.
Either way - salvage the skin and reuse it as the outer shell. It's already the right shape. The roof is different. The aluminum roof can pit and corrode and I cut away large parts of my own as I went through it. Then with new foam and plywood layers in place, re-skinned it with peel-stick aluminum roof product (same as suggested in the reply above - so what you see on the rebuild pictures is this same product). So far so good on it holding, and I keep an eye on it.
