I guess if I looked further on this website I would find this answer but does anyone know off hand the easiest way to check for wood root behind the inner and outer walls? My husband is very smart with numbers and business credit but when it comes to fixing things with our cars or around the house he really doens't have a clue. haha Thanks again everyone, can't tell you how lucky I feel to have found this TrailManor Owerner's website.

Unfortunately, it's very hard to determine the presence of wood-rot in the TM for the very reason that you mention.
One normally discovers it when they try to put a screw in the wood and find that it doesn't hold or there is nothing there. There may be other signs like staining on interior panels, weakness in the structure or softness in the floor.
