The floor underneath my fresh water tank was rotten. Just demo'd it. Pulled out the water tank. Plan is to clean up the metal support structure, put in a new floor and install the water tank back. The replacement floor will be about 4x8' with a cut out for the dump valves. Couple of concerns..
1) What do I use for the flooring? Need protection from road hazards on bottom and it needs to be strong enough to support a 6' x 4' vinyl water tank (there are 2 metal cross braces). Thinking about a sheet of marine plywood.
2) There was no drain anywhere on the old floor. Should there be one and if so, what kind?
Any comments welcome.
Thanks!
You may want to consider using synthetic decking boards and spread them out a little where necessary for your drain and overflow vent lines. They're strong, won't rot, may be easier to install than one piece material and shouldn't require any drilling for the lines. One bolt or screw at each end should be enough for securing them, so they just might work out for you.
Of course I'm not seeing what you're seeing, so............
