Hi, bought exactly this model back in November.
Has exactly same damp and rotten wood issues, was hoping i wouldn't have to strip back so far but your post has inspired me to do it properly or else suffer later on!
The front luton cab was hit some time ago on the offside, and so the panels need re-attaching, but the wood is all rotten around it (obviously). And the same deal with the window seals and the gap at the bottom to collect the water!
Back shower/toilet cubicle window leaked, but actually was the wrong size for the hole cut, and bodged with mastik so has been since removed (leaky) and an aluminium plate sealed on on the roof in its place!
Wanted to try and save the cupboards on its offside, but want to make it more open so will look into breaking a caravan- thanks for that tip!
Have ripped out shower and toilet cubicle (no need for these when I am working on sites (which is where it will be used mainly!). Mainly for extra space.
Still in my waterproofing stage and going to do the roof with everseal soon.
Step by step it will get there!
Cheers for your posts!
