We had water leak in our Forest River HTT. The factory didn't seal the bottom of the storage doors, so I never bothered to either. Unfortunately, the front most storage door leaked and a good portion of 1/3rd of the floor needed to be replaced. I did the work myself with the help of a friend. Pulled out all the furniture in the front half, pulled back the vinyl/linoleum. Then pulled up all the rotted wood. Let it dry out for a week in the GA heat. Then put it back together.
Materials were relatively cheap, I think all told we spent about $100 (that included a floor trowel for the adhesive since I didn't have one). My friend helped me with the demo, I did the rest. We spent 2 days, about 6-8 hours each day, pulling up the furniture, floor and rotted wood. Then I spent about a day putting it back together. Friend came back to re-lay the floor.
Considering how much time I spent doing the job, with about 24-30 total man hours, $3000 isn't unreasonable.
