There's a gigantic dollar amount difference between "a little TLC" & major fiberglass repair.
We bought a very old Layton 5th wheel, only about 20' long, that due to water damage we gutted to replace th floor & wall paneling. We did all the work ourselves, turned out very well I might add, & kept it for several years using it on weekends, then I got transferred & lived in it for about 4 months til our house sold & DW came to me
Would I do it again, HELL NO!
Did enjoy it at the time & recouped the $$ for the material, but as with most DIY projects your time is never paid other than a job well done.
