Floors

[paulfredricks]

We are shopping for a new travel trailer. I've seen all the info about quality these days. Most issues sound small to me as I am very handy.

Some of the units we are looking at have a 2" laminated floor listed. A friend of mine had a laminated floor in the past and said that where ever someone spent a lot of time, like in front of the sink, the floor sagged. It was dented in. For that reason he will only go with a camper that has a plywood floor.

Is this still a concern with this type of floor?

Forest River makes a number of campers with 5/8" ply wood floors

Stick to a good sheet vinyl floor. Less chance of moisture to penetrate down to the OSB sheeting.

Never heard of any floor 2" thick !

The ones that had problems were foam core.

The laminated floors are usually pretty good. His probably got wet. They’re used because they have some insulation value and they’re light. Unless maybe it’s a toy hauler I doubt you’ll find any camper made in the last 30 years that will have plywood flooring.
