Use a drill bit stop to make the job easier.

You can remove the stuck flooring with a heat gun and a putty knife.

I agree with Tom. It looks to me that it can be fixed by using GitRot. Boat builders use it all the time to keep boats from sinking.... I don't think you camper will be exposed to as much water as a boat!
