Checking an rv floor.

When in doubt replace more flooring than you think you need to. The slide s floor can end up cracking or splintering if walked when unsupported. This is a general check for abnormal wear or damage to the parts of your rv. Take the drawing with you when you re shopping for your floors so you can picture the layout as you shop.

You ll be checking for nicks in the rails scratches or dents in. Step 1 move around the whole interior of your rv travel trailer testing the floors everywhere for a soft feeling and noting the locations on a roughed out floor plan. You need to run your hands along every window seal door jamb and slide out seam both inside and outside. You ll also want to check the seals around your rv s roof.

Be especially vigilant around slide outs places where plumbing is above the floor such as in kitchens and bathrooms and all around your freshwater storage tank if it is inside.
