I hope to be able to tell you in a couple of weeks my trailer was broken into this past March and the window was left open as a result the wood is soft.
The entire interior of 1500 series Bigfoot trailers is made of a sandwich of exterior fiberglass, 1" styrofoam, and luan plywood. I would remove as much rotten plywood as possible without destroying too much foam then glue on a replacement material.

Good Idea Tom. But my concern is lining up the new plywood perfectly with the old plywood. I wonder If I could use Drywall compound too help blend them in?

Could you do some sort of tile behind the sink? A tile backsplash would look nice and would cover any seams in the plywood. From the photo this looks to be cosmetic rather than structural.
I had a similar issue but the rot was in the floor. I found an oscillating multi-tool was great for cutting out the rot in a uniform way which allowed me to fit new material in smoothly...kind of like a puzzle. Worked great! Good luck.
Thanks for the Night sailor. I like the stainless steel idea a lot. Tiles and grout may not work very well in a moving trailer. Just trying to visulize what the kitchen would like. Airstreem or chip truck
