Ford E-350 econoline shuttle bus floor

Hello! 

I am working on converting a little ford e-350 econoline shuttle bus into a home. I’ve run into an issue in the process of demolition; after taking up all of the rubber flooring exposing the wood, I fell through the floor where some water damage occurred and discovered that there is no metal body under the wood, just a metal frame with the wood screwed to it. This came as a surprise to me. So now I need some advice. I’m weary about just putting new wood down after taking up the old wood, even if it’s treated to be water resistant. I don’t have any experience with construction really, so I don’t know what my options would be. 

 

Please help!

Well, it might help to stop the leak which caused the rot to begin with.

Most travel trailers have plywood flooring which is not even treated.  They do put a layer of plastic under the wood which resists wetting from below.
