FIX IT!, dont be afraid to tear into it, Ive rebuilt 2 so far and there very simple construction usually wood frame with metal sheeting that you can order from the manufacture (not GMC, Fleetwood/skyline/winnebago/champion,etc.) as well as the ceiling panels and awning rails,corner molding, screw cover etc.
Even if it is aluminum frame you can still fix it without alot of special tools or skills.. and not a great deal of $$
The last one I did was a class c that had the first 8 feet of the roof removed by a low I-beam and I had to reframe and skin the top 2' of the sides including 3 windows and a 3rd of the roof.
the total for materials was just over 500 bucks.
The main thing is to keep it covered or in a shed till you get it fixed! If you get much water inside and the job gets lots bigger...good luck...Don
