Water damage to a floor can be extreme and unexpected like this water damage. I saw a youtube video recently where someone had their toilet valve fail while they were out for the day. The flooding caused such extensive serious damage, the insurance co. wrote it off.
When does an insurance company cover water damage?

Thanks for the link to your interesting photos. Kind of what I expected might be behind the coroplast. Why did you remove it? Did you see anything to do with the frame that didn't look quite right?
We want to install Horst Miracle probes on our tanks but the way they install the coroplast by sitting it on top of the I-beam flanges, you can't just pull it back as needed to get in. Looks like it would be a major project to remove and re-install it for any reason.
Due to a really poor frame paint job, I had to completely wire brush, prime and paint my entire frame and in a way was glad I did since I fixed a lot of what I would call issues, re-routed things like I think they should have been done and added a significant amount of extra insulation. It took a couple of weeks working a couple of hours every couple of days to get it done, but a lot of that was figuring out how to do things, creating the panels, drilling and retapping holes for the nylon bolts, etc.
I also found the supports for the fresh water tank were loose and I added extra cross supports in the middle of the grey and black tank to reduce the sag in the middle. The poor paint job on the frame was the major one, but in other R-Vision trailers the fresh water tanks have been know to "DROP" on their own creating a real mess. Even on this site there have been several threads about black tanks doing the "DROP" routine unexpectedly with HUGE consequences and messes so while rare it does happen and will sure ruin both you day and vacation. All in all it was about what I expected in a typically mass produced cost driven TT.
