Hey all,

due to a water damaged floor I need to clear out the bedroom of floor to ceiling furniture and ultimately the carpeting.

I'm hitting a brick wall in that I don't see how monaco has fastened the furniture to the floor, walls or the ceiling. Has anyone ever had to do this and if so how do I get the cabinets and end tables disconnected ?

this is a 1990 Monaco 40ft diesel. fwiw.


thanks

I agree with keeping the 1990 you like (note we have a 1991) :)

What is the reason to worry about above the floor to have to remove furniture? Are the walls soaked too?

In a friend's TT I repaired, the soaked, sagging floor (water from a broken WH tank at floor level and a broken water pipe from freezing, also at floor level), I just cut it all away in the open areas, put new 2x4 wood beams underneath into the L frames below (too few metal beams) and new flooring. It was a big job for a DIY, but as mentioned above, you can do it in sections.

The whole kitchen counters etc stayed in place and I got at underneath them as required (not much--the damage was mostly in the open areas).

Without knowing the details in your case, I would first just cut out some floor and see what it is really all about. Then get "creative".
