HI, I'm buying a 85 ranger that is a motorhome. It's called a Scamp, it's in Wisconsin. It had a leak in the windshield and water got in and settled in the floor pan on the driver's side. No apparent damage except the floor pan needs to be replaced. My question is this: what is the best floor pan to buy? Thank you all. I will post pictures of this custom motorhome when I can. Roger

I think they are about the same Chinese parts no matter where you get them.

Undercoat it good, check the rain gutters above the doors too. The sealant dries out and cracks causing leaks.

There are galvanized covers on the engine side of the firewall, remove those to remove leaves that get trapped in the cowl that can plug the drains and cause the cowl to rot out and leak to the inside.

The windshield was replaced. Do you suppose this is serious damage? The driver's floor pan needs replacement.

It's probably repairable if you're willing to make an effort

Probably repairable (floor pans in trucks are changed all the time) but check the other areas so you are not doing it again in 5 years.
