2010 Scamp Deluxe T.T repairs

So as of now I'm starting to do repairs and updating some things. Now that I'm not living in it full-time.
List of things, axle sagging, tire size and load rating. Repairs to water damage wood, change of battery to LiPo maybe solar added, sealing the wood underneath rear benchs, replacing water lines on 12v system (maybe water tank) replace hot water heater to tank less. Remove rust on frame and re paint frame. Possibly some other stuff too. Already replaced some of the interior 12v lights with LED lights.

Not a original problem, many have had this issue. So other details on this. 2010 Scamp Deluxe 16ft. I had the water heater tank failure years back. So damage was done to the wood. The blow out happened when I was at work, I worked 12.75 hour shifts with hour drive to and from work..... so a lot of water by time of finding out. Now this damage was actually caused by the water fill line splitting and I didn't find out about it. If you have something it's going to need repairs.
Note to actual experience or experts I'm not, so I'll be making mistakes. and stupid ideas.

The axle is sagging to about 11-15% of down angle, I installed 2.25 square tubing for a lift. During that I found the rotten floor area. Adding more to my quick refresh for a trip, that might be in a few weeks.
So now I'm removing the rotten wood and plan on fiberglassing the hole in. As of right now I'm trying to decide on replacement water tank fill point and type. And of course I've got a half dozen caps to replace too.

Part one of the repair, done, now to wait for it to cure some. Sand bottom area coat it and finish leveling it. I plan on sealing the wood more when I get finished with this spot. Then a good seal coat of paint too, relocate water tank and water pump some. When I installed a FM radio antenna I drilled oversized hole then filled excess with epoxy on the other side bunk. No problems with it leaking or water / bugs intrusion doing that.

Oh to add I found more floor damage under the side dining table area a little later. More fiberglass work and resin, along the street side over double the area. Condensation from window running down in carpet area plus extended high humidity area.. Not like the great north wet Oregon/ Washington but the S.E. 😉 Now to post trip, started out post floor repairs, heading out for a week loaded up lightly and on way to S. Alabama about 10 miles axle decided to start getting hot and brake shoes locking up. Making my decision on replacement axle a higher priority.
