This is a May 2007 build, a Tango 266RB, Oreo cookie walls with foam of course , dry as a bone there... no space for water intrusion or soaking up. It's a shame quality control wasn't watching the dude with the air stapler. All staple spots had six or seven shot in one spot, "more is better, eh," said the dude as he shredded the 2x3 as well as stapling vapor barrier to air in many spots. He heard air stapler so that's what he did, stapled right through till he hit some air! Some skookum deck screws would have been so much better. He totally ruined the bottom inside front corner that hides under the pretty plywood wheel well box under the sink. The 2x3s there are black and crumble like burned wood. The 2x3 attaching outer wall to floor there is toast all the way till half of the main bed. Rearward past sink I can't see yet. Major rippage apartage to expose that one. It's a shame, really. People should give a ---- when building to sell to Joe Camper. There are tons of RVs out there with the same crappy job done on the floor,
which holds up all the other amenities in your unit. Go figure. If it was theirs to buy, more care and better materials would have come into play.

but I won't! You get what I mean. Camp safe, drive safer. PT
