replace sub floor in 2005 hornet

Hello does anyone have an idea what it would take to replace the sub floor on the slideout on a 20005 36 foot hornet. I left the trailer for a month with the slide out all the way in and during heavy rains in pennsylvania the subfloor is soaked and i think needs to be replaced. On a side note i think the water came in from window over the kitchen table. there appear to be two little weepholes on the bottom of window the allow water to come in does anyone know what the purpose of these weepholes is.the roof seems to be in good shape all the caulking around slide out seems ok I would appreciate any information in replacing subfloor because i am going to replace it in 2 weeks.
Thank you

Nearly all aluminum RV windows have weep holes on the bottom sill. They are there to allow moisture that collects on the windows to run to the bottom and then out the weep holes. Check the windows at home, if they are alunimum or vinyl, there's probably weep holes on them as well.

As for replacing the sub floor, It should be a pretty straightforward carpentry job. There was a recent post on this forum about someone taking their trailer to the dealer because the floor was "spongy" (I think) and the dealer wanted to remove the slide to replace the floor ????? I can't see how that would be necessary unless there was more than floor work needed in that situation.
