Hi
Gang:
Rot in
the wall is unlikely: The wall should be a sandwich of
interior plywood (that might rot), the Styrofoam and the
exterior either aluminum or fiberglass.
While
my floors have rotted, the moisture didn't seem to go up into
the wall.

For cutting the existing wood out of the floor, look into getting
an oscillating tool and a saw blade attachment.? That's a great
tool for working in confined spaces, and not too expensive either:
I know Lowes will cut plywood for you.? Probably Home Depot too.
They should be able to cut the main rectangle of the size you
need.? But then you'll probably have to cut anything else.
The tricky part about doing a partial floor repair is getting the
new wood under the rear and side wall.? You'll probably have to
cut the hole bigger than the piece of replacement wood, then drop
the wood in and slide it over.? Then put a small strip of wood
alongside the bigger piece to fill the gap, and then put a
sandwich layer on top to hold things in place.
When you get in there you might also find rot in the wall.? That
would complicate the repair.
