Soft Spots Are The Devil

So the floor of the camper was pretty good.  There we're however a couple soft spots that had to be addressed.  We decided out of ease, to replace the whole floor.


Soft spots are very bad, but actually quite easy to fix.  The whole floor is basically studs closer together using the steel frame of the undercarriage as support.  The same principal applies when replacing walls.  Cut out the bad.  Replace it.  Cover it.  Bingo!


The difference for us, is that MOST of the floor is quite good and the thickness plywood used for the floor doesn't exist anymore.  We didn't want multiple layer flooring.  That's gay and irritating.  So I fixed the bad spots, re studded a little higher and laid down the new floor.  With a little bit a shimming, it's the most stable feeling floor I have ever felt outside of a house.

As soon as all the painting is done, the floor tiles go on and she'll be even closer to being home.
