Dry-rotted floors in RVs and what it would take to fix them

The area taped off with green tape is dry rotted flooring.

Last week, our RV repair shop received the below email from John W. regarding his RV’s dry-rotted floor:

Hello,
We have a Riverside Retro 186R with an area of rot in the subfloor. I know you guys are busy, but you come highly recommended and I would appreciate an estimate for repairs. I can bring the RV to you for an estimate if needed. I’ve included a photo, the rot is in the area marked by green tape.
Thank You, John
