I bought a 1996 Coachman Tent Trailer with a broken roof I'm trying to repair. Someone in installed an airconditioner on it and it bowed the roof down about 2". I removed the a/c unit and put in a vent. My winter project is to remove the roof and replace the damaged plywood(?). Any recommendations or if anyone could tell me where I could find a service manual, I'd sure appreciate it. Phillip

I would think the only place you would get any info on your camper would be direct from the manufacturer.

Not sure if this look would work for you but if you sandwiched the bowed section with two pieces of hardwood or even square aluminum tubing and ran through bolts between them it would straighten the wood.

I have seen campers with racks for a canoe that looked like this.
Maybe kill two birds with two boards.;)
