I repaired a lot of framing and parts of the floor in my rebuild. Don't have too many pictures of the framing repair but it's pretty straight forward, rip, remove, replace. It looks like the two most difficult parts for you will be replacing the top plate on the driver's side and replacing the bad flooring under the corners.
I do have pictures in the Hilton thread of how I sistered pieces onto the trusses where they were rotten. The flooring will be problematic because typical construction is to build the walls onto the flooring. You'll need to remove the bad flooring and slide the new under the existing wall. There will be a lot of nail and staple pulling involved. I used a sawzall and sometimes an angle grinder to remove those fasteners that I couldn't just pull.
