Either way I am planning to take up the diamond plate strip at the rear by the dove tail and cut into the rubber mat to try and see what the wood looks like. If I had to bet it isn't glued down like they say it should be and I should be able to pull it up with some heat. I will keep you informed on what I find when I get back from my trip and dig into it.

What you just mentioned is something that I would be thinking. You may also find that Keystone, like about everyone else building RVs has used OSB instead of plywood. Years back I had a Kountry Aire 5er and even in the '70s, found that Newmar had used that 'crap' on a then high end RV. I ended up pulling everything I could move or unscrew out and layering on a good quality weatherproof plywood. No more dips and spongy floor between cross members. That was better 'fun' then fixing the rot from a water tank leak that happened later.
