On a previous camper, there was a very soft spot at the door. I cut the vinyl, top plywood and foam out leaving the bottom layer. I cut back to half over the aluminum supports. I used 2x8’s to fill in where the foam was and used plywood to bring back to finish floor. Painted plywood to match the vinyl, with aluminum trim to hold the vinyl down and cover the seams. With a throw rug, couldn’t see the repair.
