Hi guys, I feel for you. It’s so bloody hard. Pay someone to get it fixed. Or help you. Maybe get one of the guys from a caravan repairer to do cash job on weekends? The rot will be on the other panels too….start stripping to see. Silver lining, could change van colour and put solid walls vs corrugated?

Live in the van in the shed for a time until you can get another van and sell that cheap for someone to do a project on it if you don't want to fix it. In the shed you are paying no rent so you can max save your money. It will be a lot of money to fix that. ( Just my opinion )
I would fix it yourself. The materials will be cheap, meranti timber,sheets of tin, staples, and sealent, have a chat to some caravan repairers they will tell you that most timber frame caravans they pull apart have some form of wood rot, doesn't matter if its a $10k caravan or $50k caravan.
Fix it yourself. Not that hard. Trick is do section by section. Treat the meranti. All it is held together with staples and glue. Don't rip off the rotted timber u need to make templates from what is left.
Hi guys reach out to the guys from now or never they just did some structural stuff to there van they may have some answers all the best
Alex is a really nice guy and he might be able to give you some advice.

Not to bad for old van, but lack8ng on insulation, but old stick and tin, are not worth much
It's hard to tell how bad it is, but if it's mostly rotten wood, this can be fixed reasonably easily. I'd suggest investigating a bit further.
