Removing Water Damaged Floor in RV

[@ifferl8781]

Everywhere the camera points, a project is being worked on. This video is very interesting. I love seeing the guts of campers

[@ericibarra7139]

I've been searching for a video like this for my rv , so glad you guys made one 🙏

[@alcidelheureux5813]

It definitely is no joke with water it is amazing how much damage that it can do. I personally believe that rv companies that build campers and rv for the price we pay for it should be built with more quality and durability inside of putting cheap stuff in rv or travel trailers

This is a rather candid look at the dirty little secrets of the design and manufacturing of the mobile home, camper, and RV industry. Rule number one - keep it cheap. Rule number two - if it's going to be expensive, find a cheaper way to do it. In the end, you wind up with a visually appealing product that is functional, with nothing but dirty little secrets hidden below the surface. We need an agency that will do for the RV industry sort of what it did for the automobile industry, and that is to make them safer in the event of (insert disaster here), and also to generally get the build quality up where it should be. Unfortunately, the unwanted by-product of such improvements is a drastically increased purchase price. So, I guess for the consumer, the best way around the initial price of a "new" one, is to buy a used one, and modify it (renovate, renew, replace) to one's own liking. Bottom line, it appears that your friends know what they are doing here. I think you're going to end up with a superior finished product after all of the hard work is done here. It looks really involved, and I don't think anything is going to be overlooked. Bravo, thumbs up.

It’s actually about weight, which it why you see these type of materials. But yeah flimsy. It’s difficult to find lightweight and durable building materials.

Camp today, rebuild tomorrow.

Thanks for sharing.....amazing how much damage simply water can do

[@Bobherry]

I love the cheery Christmas music in the background in this gloomy video with mold and dead animals lol. Can't wait to watch more videos on it.

[@ozzstars_cars]

That's a big job. Water can kill just about anything!

[@scarface-39]

Wow you guys have got a job ahead of you!!!👍

[@DustyFixes]

I hope you didn't use pressure treated Plywood to redo the floor. Treated lumber, and plywood, use copper to prevent rot, but that creates a situation where you have dissimilar metals rubbing together. Copper in the wood and steel frame rails. I've seen treated lumber destroy 1/4" steel in less than a year.

Sandwich floor is impossible to replace without adding support to the under frame. Once you remove the top layer the floor looses all its strength. Been there.

[@BillyKidz-g6s]

I bought a prowler lynx and the guy was a professional rv problems cover uper. He covered the rotten areas well. I knew that it was bad. Thats how i got low price

[@timmytool1231]

Be sure to use a respirator and plenty of moving air when fooling around with foam, or plastics, can cause major problems of all kinds, I know first hand as a buddy now have nervous system problems.

[@slockfox]

Its a job for sure. I recently replaced my floor which was soaked and rotted. I made a small video

[@rnreajr9184]

Styrofoam is pretty strong stuff. Coat it with pickup bed liner to make it stronger.

[@mattarmstrong9410]

thank you for reminding me why I will never buy an RV

[@tyson1100]

How much did this repair cost? I might have to do water damage repair to mine as well

[@DanielJaegerFilms]

By the time we were completely done with repairing and remodeling, everything, it was around $8-10k including the labor I paid my friends to help.

[@koltinn]

luckily it's osb so it's replaceable.

[@murraymadness4674]

The squirrels were partying while you were not in there, watching tv, drinking and spilling beer. I don't get why the 'seal' the floors, if any water gets in, it stays and rots and molds.

[@FishFind3000]

4:50 that’s why you use real plywood and not osb. Osb is nicknamed vertical mulch.

[@ELWVMzTV-]

is that diesel generator being used in this video?

[@DanielJaegerFilms]

Sure is!

[@johndeaton5085]

[@debunkinghistory214]

[@buckshotgeorge7201]
