What year is the trailer? Is it the Jayco 1206 in your profile? Are you able to crawl under it and see the damage and possibly any kind of structural members near it? If the bottom is covered with a fabric I would try to determine if there is any wet insulation between the fabric and the floor. If there is you're going to have to cut the fabric and get the wet stuff out to stop the rot. I'll bet it's not that hard to repair. But do you have a place to store it and work on it? A garage would be ideal, but at the very least you want to be able to cover it when you're not working on it.
Probably the hardest part of the whole project is going to be documenting disassembly and storing all the nuts bolts and screws in well labeled zip-loc baggies so you are able to put it back together when you are done repairing.
