Default sagging roof

Hello. I'm going to be inheriting back a Funfinder 139 that has a sagging roof. The roof is visibly sagging and I can see on the inside where there must be water damage. I recall that this is an aluminum frame unit. Is there hope for a roof repair? I'll work on pictures. Seems a shame to call the camper useless when everything works fine but for the sagging roof. I think this model is from the 2005 to 2008 timeframe. Thanks.

I hate to say this but you will find that the roof isn't your only problem. The front cap is delaminating as well as a sidewall. That will be an extremely expensive repair. More than the camper is worth.

Paid a visit to the Fun Finder today. I took a ladder out to inspect the roof from the top and my strong suspicion is that it is leaking from the solar panel mounting screws. It looks like snow melt has soaked in and the roof cross members have sagged from the middle of the roof and towards to the front cap. The infiltrating water runs down the front which caused the front cap delamination. The inside shows signs of the water infiltration with bows and bulges, but very little discoloration. I'm not ready to give up on this camper yet!

The walls are rotten as well. Definitely not worth fixing. I've been down that road. I replaced the entire front. And that was a lot of work and money. The trailer is only good for some parts and the chassis. Forget the rest. After a fixed mine the fiberglass started to delaminate. I sold it quickly. Don't waste your money.
