    The leak could be around the window seal. or maybe at the seam above the window.

    If you remove the bunk pad you may be able the reinforce the area above the delaminating floor. Removing the delaminated area does not sound feasible.

Is this Class C new to you? Did you buy it from a dealer, or a private party?

I always checked everything out before buying any of my RV's. It has always been "Buyer beware"

    I've had her for 5 years and knew there was a small leak in that area due to a stain but it is much worse now.  Looks like I am going to tear it all out and rebuild it from the inside.  I saw a couple video's of folks doing that.  I am newly retired and have some time to start on it.  Wish me luck, I'm sure Ill need it.

    Thank you.

      Yeah, small leaks cause large damage if left untreated. It's probably not just materials you are dealing with but mold as well.
