Okay, that all makes sense. I guess the only question is, if there's damage that needs to be replaced, can I just repair that area without having to gut the RV and rip up the entire floor? It's really localized to the area around the water heater (at least it looks this way now), and it's all easily accessible under the bed in the back. Can it just be cut out and replaced or am I going to have to pull out everything back there & replace it all?
If it's not as easy as all that, because it's not an area where we'll be walking, can I get away with just doing nothing? I'd have to find a way to reinforce the area under the hot water tank to make sure that doesn't fall out, but beyond that there's really nothing putting direct weight on that section of flooring since it's under the bed. Could I just secure the water heater & tank & just replace the insulation underneath & let it be rotten?
