Re: Ugh bigger problems than AC
I'm still wondering if I can try it myself. You just answered the question as to how to attach it. My biggest problem is cutting the pieces to fit. The area by the wheel well is not spongey, but I'm

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

Re: Ugh bigger problems than AC
A new floor used to be about $3000.? That was a pre pandemic price so it's probably more now.. To replace the floor they have to essentially disassemble the camper.? All the furniture and appliances
