I'm considering buying a 22 foot '67 Globestar camper. It is all original but the outside back lower compartment is rotted. The interior floor is new as is the plumbing but the exterior back side seams are open which I suppose let the water in. Is this wood replacement usually a costly repair? The rest of the camper looks sound and there are no stains on the ceiling. I would not be doing the work myself.
Thanks for any help!

Yes it can be expensive and there is no way to know how extensive the work will be until the wall is opened up. I once saw a vintage trailer with just a little water damage showing but once the wall was opened up the entire framing structure along the wall and rear corner needed to be replaced.
