Before you worry about the floor, you need to find the leaks. In the message archives you will find good stuff about that. Get some tubes of Vulkem 116 calk (no, silicone will not do, it eats aluminum), and a gallon of paint thinner, and 12 rolls of paper towels, and don't need to have clean hands for a week after. Every gap in the outside skin needs to have the old calk removed, cleaned, and new put in. Vulkem is sticky and gooey, but it is the best. Lay the best bead you can, push tube, not pull. Then clean and smooth with paper towels and paint thinner. If bugs get stuck in it, you can wipe them off with paint thinner after the caulk has set up. Don't ignore trim, letters, lights, and especially vents, windows, and where the awning is attached. Then after you get everything dry, start on the floor. Daisy #6517 (got it today !)
