I pulled the cabinet that abuts the bathroom as this is where most of the rotten wood is. As you will see from these pics the wood is just a black dust. Very odd. The rotten area seems to extend out around the edge of where the cabinet sat about a foot. Beyond that and the wood appears to be good. I pulled some of the linoleum up in the bathroom up to that cabinet since the sink is there and it appears to be fine. Under the sink I see no visible signs of a bad leak. I will need to hack out some of that linoleum though to be sure.
The rotten area is not over the AC compartment as I originally thought. That is further back. The area is also not under a window but is just to the left of one. It is directly over the rear wheel well. Again the wood almost looks burned but has no smell to it. I can drag the screwdriver thru it and it is just pulp and powder.
The affected board appears to be a 3/4 in that is 4 ft x 9 ft or so. Runs one side of the coach to the other. Will I be able to cut out a section of it so I don't have to remove more cabinets and such on the other side? Plus I don't know how I can get a sheet that big in there anyways.
