How hard is it to replace a floor in a travel trailer? It's only a partial but, it does go under cabinets and walls. The furniture is easy to move, I'm just not to sure about the cabinets and stuff. I'm looking at taking it down to Webb's to get a quote but, I have a feeling it's going to be crazy steep but, most of that will be just labor. Just curious if it's something way over my head or if it's one of those things that looks harder than it really is. Does anybody here do that kind of work or have done it and can give some advise?

Thanks....

I bought a toyhauler a few years ago that the water tank overfilled and snapped the foor, crushed the cabnets and broke the metal under the tanks. It wasnt too bad of a job to fix everything, and a LOT cheaper than taking it somewhere.
How bad is the floor?

But then again, Brad does have a new corvette to pay for.

The trailer has rotted wood for about the first 18" on the whole length of the trailer (23'). It has 2 entry doors that the weather seal is shot on and I believe that's where the water came in at. The previous owner told us he went threw a huge storm and one door wasn't shut all the way and it happened but, he fixed a portion of the easy stuff (He's an 80 yr old man). I was amazed at the condition of the trailer for the price and got blind and dumb and didn't inspect it more before bringing it home. Once I got home, I saw the extent of the damage. It's all on the one side of the trailer where both entry doors are. There is no damage on the walls, ceiling, or where the the water tank, water heater, or bathroom are. That's why I truely believe it's from the bad weather seals. The floor is definitely shot though for the first 18" or so. It's not really the entire length but, it's about 80% of the length.

You could take it and get an estamate, then when you do it your self, you can think of all the money your saving. I was surprised at how these things are built when I fixed that other one. I would check the bottom of the trailer also. The fabric on the bottom is to keep moisture out. If it is ripped or torn, the tires will soak the floor.
If you know how to do this kind of work its not bad, just make sure to look where your screw'n things into. You have tanks and wiring under the floor.


They probably sheeted the floor of the trailer first and then built the walls on top. So that might be the tricky part for you.

One of our techs does this all the time. Depending on how much stuff has to be removed and replaced (cabinets, appliances, etc.) it can take anywhere from 20 to 40 hours of labor.

Yes...I looked under the trailer and the fabric is in great condition. No tears or anything. When I saw the damage that was the first thing I looked for. Most of it seems pretty easy but, there is about 20% of the stuff I'm not really sure how to get to. That's what worries me. I don't want to damage the trailer more and then really be in trouble.

It's about 50/50. Luckly it's under the dinette so that's easy to remove. Other than that.....It's the kitchen stuff. There is one cabinet area though that I'm really not sure how to attack.
