Very interesting. We have a 2014 Keystone Outback with a kitchen slide(stove and refrigerator), an island with the sink in front and a backside slide that is 19' long by 36". The entire floor when you retract the kitchen slide has progressively gotten soft. We did a water test and did not find water. Under the sink(island) the flooring is solid. Getting soft areas in front of the island between the island the very large single slide as well.
Conclusion is the foam has broken down. Too much weight with the refrigerator and stove constantly going over the floor. In addition, not enough lateral support between joists. You can almost tell where one support is and it is almost 4' apart from the next.
It really ticks me off as when it it time to sell it will be very hard as someone will think water damage or just not want to deal with a soft floor on an otherwise TT that looks 6 months old inside and out due to how I treat and take care of this unit.
I never tried to go after Keystone since I am so far out of warranty but maybe there is hope. Doubt it though.
Keystone may have rectified that issue as our 2020 Outback has the aluminum floor joists on 18" centers.
