Water Damage in floor
I have a Coachmen Chapparral 340QBS and we had a water leak down the grey/black water vent pipes. Leaked for a year before we caught it.
Soft spot is in the hallway from main area to rear master bedroom, under commode and probably under shower (can't feel under shower).
I know from many threads here that getting into a floor rebuild is an absolute nightmare so I am considering this (since leak is fixed):
Ignore old floor and put either a 3/4 plywood or 1/2 steel "bridge" in hallway over the soft spot (cover with a rug) and make a base for the toilet out of same material.
I know, I know...band aid fix and rot still there...I just don't want to get into a $5,000.00 repair on a trailer I may only keep another year or two.
When I sell it I will show to prospective buyer and discount accordingly.
What say everyone? Good idea or stupid as rocks?
Thanks, FH
