I had to replace the floors in my two front bins. I became aware of the problem when I noticed the floor beginning to seriously sag while I was stopped at a rest area, EEEK!
Be careful about using stainless steel. It has an electrovalence similar to aluminum and quite different from regular steel. What will happen is you'll get accelerated corrosion of the steel framework where it come in contact with the stainless steel. I learned this the hard way with an aluminum cabin cruiser after I began running it in salt water. However, with that said, if you don't drive it on salted winter roads I imagine it'll be okay.
