Is this a big deal? pic inside

Thank-you so much everyone. Puts my mind at ease.

:) Hi, I also had the vinyl floor lifting around my raised platform toilet; I used aluminum strips on the front edges and quarter round Oak down the sides and back to hold it in place. Never came loose again.

Personally I wouldn’t worry about it very much, it’s not sealed anywhere else around the platform either… so if you going to worry about sealing it you will need to seal it all…
The sealer used would need to adhere well to because that wallboard will move to the touch and expand and contract with seasonal changes…

Problem! the linoleum is always put down under the walls, complete floor. then the walls are put down over that. if the linoleum is lifting it is because it was cut along that wall. unless they cut it to access something under there, I think there are bigger under lying issues?

I agree linoleum is usually put down under the walls, but in this case it looks like the toilet is on a raised platform and that is why the linoleum is not under the wall. The bowed wall extends down past the toilet platform to the main floor.

Ah yes! didn`t see that. if that is the case then it probably is normal. temperature swings will do this to linoleum.

I'd cover the gap with a piece of molding and seal with a clear caulk.

P.S. If you do buy this RV I'd definitely put a line of caulk along that wall to keep moisture from wicking under.

Good Luck!

Or if the gap is too wide, you could place a piece of strip molding to cover the gap.

The gap is in the bathroom and what's in a bathroom - water. This gap is an open invitation for water intrusion and everything that goes with it like mold.

A strip of molding is not going to keep water out of the gap and making its way elsewhere. Even caulking is not going to be a permanent fix - it's going to flex and crack in time.

This requires a permanent fix.

Be wary.
