I replace my entire floor this past spring on a 05 palomino hybrid. Found and repairs lots of leaks found before pad during the process. On mine all of the foam and both the top and under side layers of wood were removed. basically all that was left was the aluminum tube and bottom fabric. I made a grid out of 2x material to get some structure then a layer of 1/4 exterior grade ply under all full height walls and cabinets. Then anther layer of 1/4 ply to carry the traffic. Staggered all the joints. I did not use treated material as there is a chance that it could react to the aluminum. I also used the pink solid foam in the gaps of my grid for insulation. This stuff will not wick moisture like the original stuff. I think I have some pictures and will try to post them when I get a chance
So, you ended up with a 1/2" on top of the 2" frame? How far apart where your joists? And does it feel solid now?
Today I start putting the luan under the frame at the front and repair the membrane. Opening it up showed that the entrances for the wiring, propane lines and tank water lines were very poorly sealed with expandable foam that has become brittle and cracked.
