I have a Sunline Lite 2002 T1950. Further exploring some soft spots in the floor last night, we took up some of the vinyl and first noticed a "large chip" sort of plywood which was where most of the soft rot was located. We scraped through some of the rot, and there appeared to be a harder, solid board underneath, that was not soft chip-board like the top surface. Any idea how many layers of board there are in the floor?
My initial fear was that if the rotted board was the primary toilet support and was close to the toilet, the toilet could push through and collapse if someone large sat on it. However, if the soft rot is only on the surface board, and there is a more solid structure underneath, maybe the soft spots are not so lethal and no one will end up in a horrible toilet sinkhole accident any time soon
.
In the end, I probably will have to replace the floor anyway to avoid incident (real or imagined), but it would still be helpful to know how many layers I am going to need to deal with. Kind of short on cash for the moment, after my big travel trailer purchase, and if I could postpone the work for a bit without any incident that would cause traumatic dry-heaves to a germ-o-phobe, it would be nice!
(I have a separate thread for toilet replacement, this is just about the floor.)
