I had a leak in one of the water lines coming from the water tank, so I pulled the tank out this morning and discovered that the wood underneath it is rotted. I cut all of the wood out from where the water tank is, but noticed that there is a very small section of rot underneath the raised floor section at the very back of the coach. I'd rather not have to remove the raised floor if I don't have to, so I was thinking of trying to scrape out as much rot as I can, then spray a bunch of Good Stuff foam there. Or just leave it as is.

If the rot is more extensive, how do I remove the raised floor? I've pulled the carpet back, but there are tack strips and carpet padding all over it, making it difficult to see if there are any screws underneath.
