When I replaced some of my floor in 2008 Classic I spray painted it with rustoleom black paint. The water damage comes from above best I can tell, not from the bottom.?

Better picture.? Plan to straighten out by and
including piece in wheel well
Hello
Kathryn:
Looks
like a good start. What sort of saw do you have to cut
back to good wood? Saber saw or oscillating saw would
work fine. Even a hand keyhole saw could do the job,
but it would take a bit of elbow grease.
If
it has dried out I might soak it with paint. Use oil
based paint and thin it 2:1 with paint thinner. This
will soak in like crazy, but should fill all the voids
where the water has been. Put something under the
camper, this could leak out. Then when the paint dries
do the plywood sandwich.
If
you still want to replace the spot next to the wheel
well here is how to cut it out. An oscillating saw can
cut straight in, a saber or key hole saw will need a
starting hole.
If
you have any moisture left, use a fan or even an
electric heater to dry everything. Do you have the
extra flaps on the roof corners? They help keep the
water away from the corner and then inside.
Our
hinge seals had failed so I covered them with
Edurobond tape. The aluminum flap I made from some
scrap aluminum and pop rivets. Corner handle still
needs to be replaced.
You
will be able to do this, and then anything else you
want to fix!
Carl.

Ok. Hope you guys are still with me. I'm
all in now.?
What's the easiest way to get that piece
in the wheel well? ]I really don't want to mess with
the wiring.
