Thanks for the feedback.
I've got a new plan after finding some 1" aluminum channel at Lowe's. I'm going to start a frame at the front and attach new luan (and a waterproof membrane) under the aluminum square channels. Because they are light and not too expensive I'll use them at 12" centers and put them on top of the trailer frame that runs the length of the trailer on both sides. I'll jack up and support the sides at the front if needed to get back to square. I'll then rivet the channel to the outside frame using L brackets. I'll epoxy glue 1" hardwood blocks where the existing bolts go through the 2x4 blocks to the frame under the trailer. I'll then fill in with 1" sheets of insulation. On top of that frame I'll put 1/2 " ply (treated?), install the bolts to the frame and then put another layer of luan on which new vinyl plank flooring will go on. Sounds simple but I'm sure it will be some work and a few problems along the way.

At Lowes I put the channel on the floor and put the 1/2" ply on top, then a sheet of luan and the panels were very rigid with no movement. I'll be adding some weight with the 1/2" ply, but it shouldn't be too much.
