Floor squeaky ..warranty ?

Depending on where it flexes and squeaks - I noted that squeaking was coming from where a cabinet was rubbing against a slightly flexing floor. I put in a screw from cabinet frame to floor and it stopped squeaking.

The brochures I see say it has a tongue and groove plywood floor on a full frame. If the floor is flexing that would mean the plywood is of insufficient thickness, the frame is built with improper load characteristics, or fasteners have loosened.

One old trick is to push talcum powder between the floor sheet and the floor joist. This allows the plywood to move across the joist with little friction.

They denied any repairs. I'm going to have to keep an eye on it i guess.

When we were shopping for a new trailer, I saw a few lightweight trailers that had floors that flexed quite a bit. Unfortunately, people must buy them. They have to make compromises to reduce weight, but the floor shouldn't be one.

My 17 year old Nash didn't flex or squeak. Quality products installed correctly shouldn't squeak.

When was the last time you greased it? I think it`s every 6 months!

If the floor didn't flex before and is now, I'd definitely want to know why. And, it should be fixed while you still have a warranty. Good luck!

What does the warranty paperwork that came with your TT say?

In a new house you'd certainly have the builder back to fix it. I've never thought about it in an RV, but I'd certainly have a word with them about it.
