Rear wall and corner rot
So I just purchased a 2000
Lazy Daze midbath, had some suspicion about the rear wall but ignored my gut… so I do have a soft spot near the base of the drivers side rear window. Does anyone have pictures or info about how that is all put together. I am hoping to pull the side window tomorrow.
Thanks for any help.

The window will probably give you a good fight.
LD glued everything together. Line the perimeter of the window frame with heavy duct tape to protect the paint. I use a thin-bladed putty knife, sharpened to a sharp edge, to cut through the polyurethane adhesive.
Window frames can leak if not periodically resealed. Your LD's rot could also be caused by a leaking rear-end cap, a common cause of rot...

Let us know what you find. It's best to  repair the rot from the inside; removing the exterior aluminum sheet metal is a huge PIA

This thread has some great information and photos of rot repair. If you use the search term "rot" you'll find more. Looking forward to your description and photos of your project. Should be fun.
