Here's where we are right now. Still removing rotten floor framing and figuring out how to structurally stabilize the nose.

Not as bad as I had envisioned actually. You did save the siding I presume? Sad part is that was all avoidable with some simple preventative maintenance. Looks like it was a nice little unit and can be again... With some work on your part.
Sill plate don't look too bad on the curb side from what I can see. Sill plate on the drivers side it gone. I wonder how far back the water / rot goes on the drivers side??
As insurance against future issues, I would loose as much of the fiberglass batts as you can and replace it with pink expanded styrofoam board (underlayment). That glass batting is junk that RV builders use but it's cheap.
Problem is, it retains water like a sponge.
Hopefully, you have been wearing a mask and gloves...

I use Sikaflex, Dicor and Butyl tape. Never RTV silicone (a big no-no) for sealants.
Try to refrain from using 40 retention pressure treated wood as a replacement as well. 40 retention lumber has lots of bad chemicals in it and while it's rot resistant it's also bad to breath in any emissions from it.
