Ugh, my 2004 1121 needs the passenger side repaired. The driver side look s OK, but not sure it really is.
My real problem is that somehow a water leak has damaged the floor just inside the rear door. Not sure how to go about that.
Nice work.
Thanks. The passenger side is probably the easier of the two sides to replace since it doesn't have wires running through it, only has one compartment opening, and the top edge is straight rather than stepped like the driver side.
Sorry to hear about your damaged floor. If you look at the pictures of my camper with the side panels off, you can see how the floor of the camper is made. A 2x2 framework with a 1/2" sheet of OSB on top, and a 1/8" sheet of lauan plywood on the bottom.
Can you tell how big the damaged area is? Is it just the OSB that's under the linoleum, or is the 2x2 floor structure damaged too? If it's just the OSB and it doesn't extend under the shower area or into the generator compartment, you might be able to get away with cutting out the bad area in the center aisle and replacing it with a new piece.
You're probably going to have to start by cutting out a section of the linoleum to see how bad it is and go from there. If the damaged area is bigger than the aisle or involves more than just the top sheet of OSB, you'll probably have to remove the bumper and the holding tanks to repair it.
