Has anyone had to replace their floor. I have to and found a design flaw on
my 24' Catalina Lite. Bob

I have never replaced a floor but if I did I would use plywood for the
floor, not that chip board many RV's have for floors.

Sorry I don't have any advice on your question -- but just out of
curiosity, where in NC are you?

(I'm about halfway between Greensboro and Rockingham, off US 220.)

and I will respond to you. '

REPLY:  I have a 2008 Coachmen Freedom 21QB  with no floor problems or
any other problems (except for the recent Generator failure after
literally 2 hours of run time , for which i recieved a brand new Onan
4.0 Generator).  Im interested in knowing more about your floor fiasco ;
is it the entire floor thats messed up or just a certain section ?  What
is the design flaw you speak of ?  Is there any other problems
associated with your Coach ?   Have you contacted Coachmen regarding
your floor problem and if so, what was there response ?  Thanks. Again,
im curious about your anomolys.

I have a 1996 Coachman 20' Catalina Ultralite and the cheap particle
board floor has failed right at the entrance door.  I guess years of
stepping on the same spot did it in.  I don't think it's from any sort
of leaking since there's no discoloration to the board.  I did try the
penetrating epoxy.  All that did was make it stiffer but not stronger.
A good jump in that spot and someone's foot is going through.

I'm going to replace just that area with a piece of plywood about
20"x60" since that's all I can get to without removing furniture. That
piece is big enough that it covers several support joists.

I'll get to it eventually.  As for now, I'm just stepping over the bad
spot.

What kind of design flaw did you find?
