Default sub floor rotten?

I'm talking to a guy in Wa that has a 87 Newell coach for sale. He has been very honest in his assessment of the coach as far as problems with it. One of the things he mentioned that I have some concern is he said there is a soft spot in the floor in that are of the ice maker and the fridge. He says it's just the sub floor and there is a steel deck underneath the plywood subfloor? Is anybody aware of the flooring construction on an 87 Newell? I'm not worried if it is just the sub floor, I plan on pulling the carpet and replacing with flooring anyway, so replacing a section of sub floor shouldn't be difficult.
The guy is asking 27k, so the price is right, I know it needs new tires, and there are some other mechanical issues that can be fixed, ie one bad A/C unit, cracked sink in bathroom, etc, but biggest concern is the floor.
