Update
So the bottom luan is saturated as well, I'm almost to the door. I will probably have to remove the coat cupboard and possibly the furnace/heater.
I'm wondering if I should start with putting in floor joists and subfloor in a section at the front and work my way back. Since the luan is rotted under the outside aluminum wall frame how would I go about repairing that and reattaching the waterproof membrane. From the older posts it doesn't look like anyone addresses that. They just attach joists to the outside aluminum rails.
I'm thinking if I can build a frame of some sort with luan attached to the bottom that would give something for the extruded foam insulation to rest on and provide some support. Then I might get away with fewer 2x6 joists, or perhaps use a combination of 2x6 and 2x4's, perhaps with a lap jointed one running down the centerline?
I could post some pictures but at the moment it just looks like a variety of other starcraft trailers with the floor partly ripped out.
