What's the fix for rotted side walls and collapsing top. On my 2006 Hi-low 19 foot. See pictures. Thanks

Hi and welcome! You basically just have to disassemble the top and replace all of the interior parts that have deteriorated. There are numerous threads in this forum showing how people have done this.

I did mine last year and posted this for reference. Hope this helps.

1707T Renovation

I purchased the 1707T knowing it needed some TLC. I attached the file to show from start to finish for those interested in doing the same.

Start by covering your floor and counter tops with cardboard. Remove cushions and curtains/blinds. Take measured drawings of curtain hardware. The reason the walls get water damaged is because the windows aren't taken out and resealed with butyl tape and Lexell caulk on the outside. Ask me how i know!! Look for back posts as many have had to do rebuilds. Use bracing on the inside with Towlites to hold the structure. Consider using metal where the cable cuts into the wood. This is a good time to replace the seal between the layers. Check the condition of the cables. We are here to answer any questions you may have. I used quite a few tools from Harbor freight.
