You might have just saved our RV. Thank you!

I followed this repair step-by-step. I can confirm this method works. My spongy floor was as a result of this compacted foam and now it is nice and solid. Can also confirm the linoleum was EASY to pull back and re-used with 0 issues. THANKS!

Note:
-I did not have confidence with my first epoxy mix because it was using so much I thought I had a leak. I did not, after I let that sit I mixed a second batch and after using ~ 1 gallon (mixed) I started seeing it push up from the other holes in the grid.

This worked like a charm, floor is very solid where I did the epoxy injection. just a word of advice, if you are planning to order just a gallon, better buy 2 gallons and a good orbital sander...

My question is about diagnosing the softness in the floor. The wood layer below the vinyl is in great shape. How do I determine if this is only an issue due to saying foam or if there is water damage in the bottom wood layer when I can't get to it from below?

I had the same problem in my camper only they used Wafer board . When it gets wet just once it swells and deteriorates back to saw dust. Why in the world would a company( Coachman Clipper) use a product so unreliable . But I was able to do as you did and rip back the sheet vinil and replace part of the rotted board . Now I have found another soft spot in front of the refrigerator. Lucky me.

i got a 2014 Micro light camper, and it's soft only at front door and bath room area. i need to do this :)

Hey here an idea why don’t there quit building crap for rvs, everyone sick of going back and fixing there cheap mistakes

[JeremySierra]

Question, does the epoxy cause damage to the foam under the top panel ? I need to do this but was worried it will cause damage to the middle foam layer.

[danielp.]

If I am not mistaken, you put back the original linoleum that you have cut at the beginning.

[bear]

Thanks for the demo! How deeply did you drill?

[allamericanoutdoors]

I have the same type of floor but the wood is rotten so I need to cut it out. Should I leave some room around the edges? My concern is if I cut it out to the wall the whole top will blow off going down the road.

I am about to start the same process on my 2004 keystone Zeppelin 30-footer. I have soft spots.
Could anyone recommend the brand and what Xpoxy to use??

[BRYAN.TAMPA.]

Hey @equiprvrepair great video! I tried reading through your comments but couldn't find my answer. My question is do you know if they run any plumbing or wiring in the floor? And if they do, do you know how to avoid hitting something?

[ishmom]

This is what I think is going on with our 2021 Keystone Outback. Can you tell me what kind of epoxy you used. Thank you so much for sharing this video.

[kevinv]

Awesome video. Looks like you're answering comments so ill ask: If we dont have a laminated floor but heavy non water sag, could you drill threw the floor into the foam, epoxy, then put home depot laminated flooring ontop?would you change anything? Thanks!

[Sharris]

I am 74 years old and am about to tackle your method. How long from start to finish should I expect to take?

[RobMart]

Hello, thanks for the video. How does the glue hold up in hot climates? I want to remove my carpet and replace with vinyl and wondering how it would hold up in Texas heat.

[Sharris]

Oops, I forgot to ask. I have seen a video of someone using that spray foam insulation. Any thoughts regard using that?

[raphaelblackwell]

Can you do this with the "hyperdeck" flooring?

[JackDel-iu]

Is there any other way to fix soft spots I have a 2020 travel and it’s got a couple soft spots I don’t want to remove the vinyl flooring
