The correct way is to put a lifting jack under the caravan floor just to support it. You then drill the holes through the top section of plywood only, fill them with the adhesive and then plug them with dowels. The final part is to put a sheet of cellophane or thin plastic over the area being treated (the bonding won't stick to it) and then place a heavy object over the top such as a garden slab or a battery directly on top. Leave for at least 24 hours till the adhesive sets but follow the instructions on the tub for this and then sand down any protruding dowels till flush with the floor.

do not use expanding foam, it is evil stuff
tango55 has clearly bought that t-shirt, would say use plenty of axle stands and packing down under and on top a few weights, (spare wheels etc) messy job but worth it

When I did my delaminated caravan floor last year I used a 'One Shot' adhesive so there's no mixing involved which saves time and less messy. The results were satisfactory anyway.
