Re: Ugh bigger problems than AC


 

Btw your photo makes the hit from underneath seem the original cause rather than any wheel well leakage. Even better is that this is not a walk-on area and a plywood patch above will not be in the way at all in a storage area. Plus getting to the underside in that corner is very easy, not like above the axle, for instance. You might reconsider doing this yourself. It should be very simple with basic tools-a circular or Sabre saw, some metal snips and a drill plus wrenches or pliers and screwdrivers, etc. If laying down at the outside corner is difficult (or getting back up) hire a local kid to help there while you work inside, or just find a local handyman for the whole thing to do it by your plan.?

This is what I found,? everything else seems solid. AC has not been used since I got the trailer. My money is on the wheel well. I think this is beyond me

Just a ball park, what you think it would cost to have a new floor?( I won't hold you to it)? My husband cannot to the work. This would all be on me.

Just studying these photos carefully, it looks like it might have been water coming in through the door or maybe A/C unit leaking inside and pooling under the bed along the edge of the wall and floor.? There is a piece of wood molding along the wall, is that all rotten and water soaked too?

I would make sure all the wood is fully dry before coating it with anything that would seal water into the wood or your just asking for the rest of the floor to dissolve away.? You can buy "Wood Hardener" off Amazon?? ?? I've used it on my doorway rot and it does tend to firm up the wood and soak in replacing the water, but its no replacement for solid structure in the area.? I "over coated" mine with a 1/8inch piece of Aluminum. Seems to be working great after 8 months.
