TT Bond new floor to sidewalls

New TT owner here. Our "new" TT has a completely rotted out floor. Linoleum and 1/8" ply on styrofoam with 1/8" ply underneath. All of it delaminated, soaking wet and crumbly. I knew it was bad but bought it anyway so here I am.

I am completely replacing the floor. My question is, how do I bond the new floor to the 1-1/2" aluminum tubing that the walls rest on? It looks to me like the 1/8" ply top layer and linoleum went into the wall on top of that tubing and the walls were built on top of it.

There must be vertical aluminum tubes some places in the walls, I was thinking maybe just screwing in and angle plate to the floor and to those vertical tubes as a start?

I sure dont want to have the shell lift off the trailer while I am on the highway!

Thanks.

Knowing what trailer you have might help. Laying the finished floor on the frame then building the structure on top of it is quite common.
