Mobile Home Sub Floor Repair. How to replace under walls.
Working on Mobile Home Sub Floor and wall problems.
Replacing under the walls on a mobile home sub floor can be difficult. We also ran into rotten bottom plate on the mobile home walls. We ended up replacing the 2 x 4 band board around the outside bottom edge of walls.

Last summer I bought 2 acres of land with a single wide, that was abandoned for 5 years. Luckily the floor beams and outer frame beams are still good. Replaced the windows and rotted wood around them from the leaks. Have to remove and replace all the wall board. Mud dobbers and mouse poop is behind all the wall board. Going to replace the sawdust floor boards with new 3/4 plywood. Floors creak all over the mobile. So I'm enjoying the videos and learning how to do the floors correctly. 👍🏽

[@number1pappy]

It's crazy how they build mobil homes. We are renovating a double wide and we discovered that they used 3/4 inch thick baseplate for the 2x4 exterior walls. So basically the subfloor is layed down on the joist and then they use 3/4 baseplate and then build the wall with 2x4s. Funny thing is they did use 2x4s for the top plate. They even doubled up the 2x4s for the top plate where the roof attaches. Oh and my God ! What's up with all the staples they use!??!!??....seriously they could probably double their profits by cutting back just half of all the staples they use. It's ridiculous! Lol!

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

I agree with everything you said 100% oh my God

[@Watermelon_Shuga]

Good job Drew. Was that just a 2x4 on the outside wall or a 2x6? I think it's called a rim joist. My MH is a 1970 and it has either a 2x6 or a 2x8.

The wood under your sill plate is Whitewood pine. It does not have to be painted. It’s not painted now so when you take it out and put it back in you don’t have to paint it. I have a Lotta videos on this if you look around you’ll see my sill plate video, my band video

Question....if the subfloor isn't rotted under the wall baseplate ,is it still recommended that it be removed when replacing the subfloor? In other words the subfloor that is being replaced is rotted in the middle of the sheet. The subfloor under the wallpaper is perfect. Is it OK to just cut up to the wall baseplate and lay the new subfloor up to it?
