If / when you take it apart, and I strongly suspect the problem will be bigger than you expect, make sure that you have the MH in a dry environment to ensure all exposed woodwork is thoroughly dried, then treat it for every form of nasty that you can think of, before scarfing in new pieces of treated wood to replace that which is questionable.

Your biggest problem may be getting replacement wall panels - the manufacturer MIGHT be willing to help, but will probably insist on going via a registered dealer (been there, done that, been delayed for 6 weeks). If you are willing toNOT find matching wall panels, FleaBay may be able to help with similar items.

Do take lots of pics., not only for your own satisfaction, but to show to any prospective buyer if / when you decide to sell.

Thanks for sharing the pictures, they do not look an easy fix to me, but that could well be reflectingmy inability rather than the actual difficulty of the task.

I would not comment on how difficult it will be to sort out as that must depend on your level of expertise but I would wish you the best of luck. The gap evident in the picture with the pipe may well reflect why it appears soft in places but the recurved coating must show the evidence f damp. Has this ever been picked up in damp surveys ?

AFAIK since the recent upgrade of MHF the original poster can go back at any time and edit the title. I suggested to Pat-H, trying with what used to be called the “Corna virus” thread and it has now been successfully changed to “Corona virus”, so it looks possible.
