It looks like we have a small leak on our 2021 Retro, it has created some soft spots on the osb flooring. Has anyone used pourable epoxy to strengthen the flooring in a these units? There are only a few spots near the door.
2021?
Why not seek factory warranty assistance?
Such a new unit, you need to get the manufacturer involved rather than attempting to "jerry rig" a half hearted fix that will haunt you until you dump it on the next unsuspecting owner.
Pouring epoxy over the weak spots is not really a repair (although I am sure there will be a few chime in that it works).
A real repair would be to cut out and remove the weakened and damaged subflooring past where the water leak was and into good solid wood. Then you can patch in with brand new subfloor material of your choice (for me, it wouldn't be OSB or MDF, it would be real plywood).
Once subfloor has been repaired, you will have to install new vinyl flooring to cover the repair.
