There's not much wood there on ANY camper. I suggest that since yours is already weakened, that you traingulate the mounts by welding a one foot section of angle iron to each mount on the bottom front corner, and anothe one foot section to each mount on the bottom left(and right) corner. Drill holes through the angle into the frame. That will make your mounts three times a strong.
saved and blessed:)

Well I have removed some siding and did some digging. This is what I found.
I am almost positive the water came in from the jack mounts. I plan on using git-rot to stop the rot ans add some strength back. I have already cut out the really bad wood.

Git Rot or Smiths CPES (better) will definitely help the vertical member, but the horizontal wood needs replacement and reinforcement.

I removed the bad wood and soaked it CPES. I used liquid nails and screws to fasten the new wood. I also made some reinforcement brackets for both sides.

Thanks for the kind words. So many times while tearing deeper and deeper into it I wondered if I would ever get it back together. Lots of help was provided by this site and its members. Wood is not my specialty, metal is more my speed. Last night I put one of my custom made jack mounts on and it feels super rock solid. On leg is now lagged into a 2x2 instead of the edge of a 1x4. The other leg is bolted clear thru to the metal reinfocement and super strong. I will post pictures when its daylight.
Sorry master i think one is enough for me.
