Floor rot

I have some rot in the floor next to the exterior wall. Obviously there has been a leak which I believe I have corrected just wondering if when I repair the floor does it go under the wall or does it just but up to the wall? Thanks for any help

Thanks any ideas on how to replace under the walls? How to cut the original back to good wood?

That is a good question. I believe that there is a access gap on the lower potion of the outside wall that is covered by the aluminum J panel. I do not remember how much this gap is but you might be able to take some of the screws attaching the walls to the floor. I you were able to get these out you might be able to wedge the wall off the floor a little bit. I am talking a 1/8" maybe. I think I would research this a little to confirm the access at the bottom of the exterior wall. This is information that I am trying to remember from the factory tour we took a couple of years ago.

Done I took the outside aluminum skirt off pulled back the carpet and was able to cut out the bad section. I then used 1X1 aluminum angle screwed to the frame and set the new piece in. I didn't put it under the wall, there I used a piece of Star board which is a plastic composite that won't rot. Wasn't to bad of a job more procrastinating than anything. Now I have to tackle the Wheel bearings!!!!
