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

How long was your trailer? After the solid foam, and layers of ply were on the floor did it stiffen up? How far apart were your 2 x grids? 2x4 or 2 x2? I'm at the stage where I have some of my aluminum cross bars down, riveted to the frame. I'm hoping it stiffens up more as I get more sections in and glue down the solid foam and add the 1/2" ply top.

If not I'll have to have some support welded under the trailer. There isn't anything down the middle for the front 5' .

I'll post pics tmw after I get the second section installed. I finished making the front waterproof after rain was threatening this afternoon.
