Rotting floor in our 2008 Jayflight 26BH
My wife and I have discovered the floor is rotting in our 2008 Jayco Jayflight 26BH in the front bedroom below the side windows on either side of the queen bed. The floor is soft right under the wind...

OP, pulling and resealing the windows is SUPER easy. Buy some butyl tape from your local dealer or online. Your windows are 2 piece with screws on the inside. Take the screws out from the inside and pull the frame from the inside. Have someone outside to support the glass from that side. Once the inner frame is off, push out the outer frame and glass. Then you can inspect the old butyl tape and possibly see where water entered. Put the new tape around the opening and push the window back in. I pulled the window back out and inspected the butyl tape to ensure that the window seated properly, then put it back and installed the screws again.
It fixed my leaky front bedroom window, haven't had a problem again. Cost me about $10 in butyl tape and an hour of my time.
For the floor, sounds like you will have some work cut out for you. Unfortunately the plywood floor goes underneath the sidewall. You will want to cut out all the rotted wood, including what is under the sidewall frame. Once its out, install new decking (usually 3/8" or 5/8" plywood) and install new linoleum flooring in the bedroom.
Good luck!
