I have had four Rvs.
A 79 Prowler, 2001 Wilderness, 2010 Sabre, and 2021 Momentum. None of them are foam core construction.
I hav a few friends that had RVs using that construction. They all had problems. They all sold them and got something that did not use foam core construction.
I have read of some that repaired theirs. I have little faith in the durability of those fixes.
I think RVs built that way should be avoided
I read some years back that the industry did a study that found that the average new towable RV owner used it 2-3 times a year for 3 years and never used it again. Some sold them, others just parked them.
That really explains why some are not built to last.
You might want to look closer at the wall construction of your 2021 Momentum, then revise your comments. The 2010 Sabre would of had laminated foam core walls also. Is your glass half full or half empty.

As far as laminated floors they can be good or bad. The biggest factor is #1 the amount of and spacing of the aluminum tubing and #2, the process used for lamination, either pinch rolling or vacuum bonding. Forest Rivers Rockwood and Flagstaff lines had the laminated floor down to a science. Close spacing on the aluminum sub frame and vacuum bonded. Even then they still had some issues especially if the buyer was of great bulk. They went to a plywood floor in 2018/19. The reason was not floor quality, but that it's simply cheaper both material and laborwise to just screw down some 5/8" plywood. There was also a big deal back around the early 2010s where a lot of manufacturers had received a bad batch of the glue used in the lamination process from a supplier which added to the bad rap.
