Got some of the floor up tonight. It's just complete rot. The tin underneath is not in very good shape either.
I am thinking about using advantech for the floor, which is fairly water resistant. Is it necessary to put the tin back down or is it just holding water against the floor? I am also considering spray foam on the under side of the floor.

If your going to use advantech and spray foam it I wouldn't be concerned with the tin. When you get the tin up it would be a perfect time to think about running everything you'll need to bring it up to modern standards electrical, plumbing so on.

That's the plan. Honestly I have no clue what a modern unit would have . First time here. I did plan on completely re wiring, new lights, outlets etc

Pex plumbing, ethernet cable from front to back for rear camera and tv. I'm a fan of mini splits so refrigerant lines would be on the list. What type of throttle do you have? Cable?
Advantech will probably be fine structurally. If it were mine I would replace the metal. There are many options available to preclude rust. There is a lot of flammable materials below the floor. I like the idea of having a metal barrier between the chassis and the living area. I think it will aid in cabin noise reduction as well. Then again I am a "belt and suspenders kind of guy!"
