I replaced the floor in my bedroom slideout. It wasn't that difficult if you have some carpentry skills. In my case I used 2 layers of 1/2" plywood glued and screwed together after being sealed as the original floor was 1" thick OSB type material. I also cut a piece of FRP and glued it to the bottom (the part that gets exposed with the slide out). I looked at keeping the original floor and treating it with a marine type epoxy (I can't recall the name)that penetrates the wood and hardens it. In the end I opted to remove the slide floor and replace it. Probably the hardest part was finding all the screws to remove the old floor.
Also as a note, I did it without removing the slide. I extended it and attached 2 2x6's to the sides to support it.
