1200 lbs for a 9' floor isn't bad - I think a custom built layup might be 900 lbs. Total Composites don't have much info on their website about their kits, out of curiosity what sort of ballpark cost was quoted for that unit, if you don't mind telling?
One of the problems with production RVs is that the cheap sealants they use are just good enough to keep the leaks at bay for the warrantee period, and that is all they care about.
It was around US $13,000 inc Cdn import duty & fees plus container freight of US$3500 to me located inland 900 miles from the port.
My quote was subject to the final amount of steel I would want in the floor panel for attachments and jack points etc.
The bodies are made to order so all dimensions are custom within their parameters.
Mine was a flatbed model. They are doing slide in pickup kits now too.
