It will work fine, as long as you never drive it. I can't see it lasting very long if you do, unless you make it thick enough your tires and springs die first.
Lots of people use plywood or pre-fab wood flooring in RV vans, it should work with "less processed" wood as well. Reclaimed pallet wood would make an interesting floor.
