Posted in four wheel camper discussions. Even with a small leak many trailers have a liner. I think they ve now gone to laminated flooring. A spongy rv floor indicates rot in the subflooring usually the plywood underneath the laminate tile or carpet.

Have a good one. I just repaired a 2001 dutchmen travel trailer floor. Looks to be from a roof leak by awning. About to embark on replacing rotted wood flooring in my rv.

Step 7 use marine grade plywood for the replacement panel to prevent any future water that may get in from doing the same amount of damage again. The finished floor is then installed on top of the subfloor. The next step is to flip the frame to install the holding tanks propane lines wiring fiberglass insulation and the underbelly cover to protect the unit from road debris. I need to start building my lift kit for the new to me camper and need to know how much wood i have to screw too and not come up throught the floor.

The thickness of plywood. I would use a decent 5 8 plywood throughout to replace your original floor. Inside height the basic composition of the sub floor in an rv or van conversion should consist of a bottom layer of one half to one inch of poly iso insulation and a top layer made of exterior grade plywood. Next comes the floor made of a core wooden frame.

Use your tape measure to learn the precise thickness of the sound floor around the edges and make sure you buy replacement material that is exactly the same. Does anyone know the thickness of the plywood used for the floor an 05 grandby. The dutchmen had a 18 soft spot that turned out to be a 2 x20 floor truss plywood and insulation replacement. My camper uses plywood for the flooring and roof.

Jayco used structurwood osb flooring on their inexpensive jay feather sport series in 2006 and 2007. This model used 2 x3 floor joists and 5 8 plywood decking. This 3 6 area will be a challenge. Page 1 of 2 plywood floor thickness.

This is most often caused by water damage which may be only one small part of larger damages caused by water. What size plywood do i use for a subfloor. On top of the floor we install tongue and groove plywood providing a solid secure foundation for each rv.
