Yes,there are some challenges, but sounds like some care was taken, and a few issues overlooked. Your soft floor spots should be looked at individually. Patching the "rotted" wood to create a good base is the best solution. The idea that water will ruin the entire floor by association is wrong thinking. My '84 had some leaking issues, but repairs to the frame and a few scarfed repairs cured the problems with the necessary sealing. You seem to realize the vents leaked, but repair and check for other leaks.
When you patch the soft floor, then think about our overlay, and new floor. Make sure the roof is sealed and all damaged issues in the roof are taken care of before tackling the floor.
Most important is you don't make this a project that begs to be used. Take it out for a little relaxation as you bring it back to life.
