There is no solid wood on the exterior edge. Only the trim. If I put it up on the trim the that part will be higher than the rest of the floor.?

?As much as I would like to do it myself, with all of your help,I know my limits and that of my back. The heat wave is also no help. Keep you all posted. Maybe I'll be more optimistic in the morning.?

Hello Kathryn:

I would leave the good solid material around the edges to have something to add to. Then the new inside floor could be just one piece cut to fit.

Depending on how busy the lumber yard is, you might get them to cut a rectangular piece to size. I think in Europe this is almost standard and it is odd to buy a full sheet of plywood??

Once you get the hang of cut and fit work you will never have to worry about patching your camper.

Wouldn't I just do the entire compartment floor?

I only saw the one photo of an area with what looked like a view of the driveway under. Doing a one piece patch is easier in some ways, and stronger,. But if the areas are not fairly contiguous then multiples will work. As to how to cut the pieces, I would do cardboard patterns until you have the exact shape(s)? you need. Some overlap larger than cutout areas obviously is needed, especially to bolt through. Then just use the cardboard to draw the shape onto both sheet metal ( hardware stores sell thin aluminum sheets about 2' x 2' or larger) and onto plywood ( exterior glue grade and nominal 1\2" thick). Metal snips or heavy duty scissors for aluminum and cheapest for plywood wood be aa saber saw (electric). Sabre saw won't do dead straight cuts but good enough. Drill for holes to bolt everything together. When done installing ( much easier with 2 people)'brush cost all exposed seams below with roofing tar. Easy peasu.?
