Hey there Kelly,
Wanted to add, several of the cabinets shown in your photos are original to that style/model of trailer, albeit, saddled with a less than desirable
paint job. Should look like so-so fake woodgrain.
Since I don't know what your experience is with this type of trailer (molded fiberglass), I wanted to strongly recommend you do a fair bit of research, and have a plan before you remove, dismantle or tear out anything. Regardless of what direction you choose to take your diamond in the rough, it is important to know things, like, for instance, some of those cabinets are providing structural support to the roof, and if removed can create wicked problems. There are also some known defects, which should top your list of repairs.
I will also add, I am not the last word on
Trillium rehab. I learn new, important and fun info about FGRVs every day, much of it from sites like this one. Definitely don't take just my word on anything. There's lots of great, and not so great(sorry), advice available, just be sure it is right for you.
Perhaps you know all this, so I'll just end with more well wishes and hopes to see your progress and the finished result.
