What's wrong with the top? The inside or outside?
Taking the solar panel off and then try lifting it. Those older campers were not made with solar panel in mind. It looks like the panel is on the street side of the roof and may be causing an uneven lift. If that is the issue, you could leave it off or get a new flex panel which weigh next to nothing.
The lift system is a manual scissor type. Even 10lbs could make a difference. But it may be hard to remove.
Does the roof feel soft/spongy from the inside? Or different sounding if you knock on it in different places?

Looks like you put a lot of work into it. Would be a shame to get sell it before checking other options.
Not really, but the insertion of one of the arms is loose(suggesting rot) and an end bit of trim came off and the wood looked crumbly
The roof always seems to be where these older campers fail first. Your assessments sound justified.

This is funny. I thought I saw someone looking for one of these to buy and last night while on KSL I saw your add and was going to post it here for you then realized you had already done so.

I always chuckle at the name "Mini gasser". Anyone know where it came from?
I'm sometimes a (not-so) mini gasser in my camper, depending on the camp meal of that day

Interesting... related to the old slogan "It's a gas" perhaps?

Have you tried selling it elsewhere? Most of us are here because we already have a popup.
Just a local site. i thought it would take a real pop-up enthusiast like you!
Just a thought and don’t take this personally and I’m not in the market for another trailer. I have an 82 jayco that only has one bed like your gasser. I paid $500 for it knowing it needed a new canvas and a cabinet rebuild. The canvas was $1100. The cabinet probably took $40 to rebuild. You have to rebuild a roof. Lots more work that what I did. Your price of $2500 for the trailer to me is way too high considering the work involved to rebuild a roof. I would feel comfortable in the $1000 dollar range. You have to decide whether you want to sell a whole trailer to someone who wants to take on a project and let it live and be loved longer, or part it out and then deal with the left overs that no one wants. Good luck which ever way you go.
