This is my thinking on this and take it with a grain of salt. looks like the membrane has been compromised in a bunch of areas. My guess no matter how well you seal it moisture will probably get up in there. With this said why not use bug screen instead so it can breath... after traveling in the rain the floor under will air dry out. With the age of your TT this might be a option.
BTW I had a similar problem on one of my past TT's and this is what I did. worked out well.
Good luck

I would agree with Mike's solution.You don't need to worry too much about getting it wet from underneath. Even if you do tow during the rain, the wood will dry out. Remember, the biggest enemy to the floor is having water trapped between the membrane and the wood, which is the #1 cause of these floor rotting out. The water gets trapped between the linoleum on the top, and the membrane on the bottom. After a year or two all there is left is the styrofoam they sandwich between the wood. One other thing you can try to keep moisture off the exposed wood is spray it with a rocker-panel spray for cars - it's that rubbery paint stuff, it will keep water from coming in contact with the wood but also won't trap water, and it's cheap :)
