H ow in the heck does that get a flat head screw out?

Re: Ugh bigger problems than AC
Hello Kathryn: I can't pull out many rusted fasteners for many reasons: rusted, head damaged and poor access. My go-to tool is an angle grinder: 4.3 Amp, 4-1/2 in. Angle Grinder with Slide Switch

Re: Ugh bigger problems than AC
I repaired one corner, and have to do it elsewhere too.? I may do a whole floor down the road.? With mine I used 3/4" plywood I coated on both sides with Gorilla Flex seal after I had it cut to

Re: Ugh bigger problems than AC
Hello David: I respectfully disagree. The new floor piece _should_ extend under the wall. The walls are really only supported by the floor, there are no trailer frame members that extend up into the

Re: Ugh bigger problems than AC
Thanks all. Still working on it. My proble is brute force non existing. Cannot take metal screws out of the cross beams. Likely will try a repair myself with a cobbling together of all your ideas. It

Re: Ugh bigger problems than AC
This is a photo of part of my rotten wood repair.? Before cutting out the bad wood, I first located the metal framework underneath.? Then basically I cut out the floor using a jig saw in the open

Re: Ugh bigger problems than AC
If doing a handyman or do it yourself good enough patch it will be WAY simpler to cut no further than flush with inside of wall to cut away rotted flooring and place patch also only up to but not

Re: Ugh bigger problems than AC
Hi Gang: Rot in the wall is unlikely: The wall should be a sandwich of interior plywood (that might rot), the Styrofoam and the exterior either aluminum or fiberglass. While my floors have rotted, the

Re: Ugh bigger problems than AC
Yeah , I don't think its solid beneath it.

Re: Ugh bigger problems than AC
Hello Kathryn: The original floor goes under that trim and under the wall, all the way to the exterior surface. Your replacement piece should too. Then the "trim" could be screwed down to the new

Re: Ugh bigger problems than AC
For cutting the existing wood out of the floor, look into getting an oscillating tool and a saw blade attachment.? That's a great tool for working in confined spaces, and not too expensive either:

Re: Ugh bigger problems than AC
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

Re: Ugh bigger problems than AC
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

Re: Ugh bigger problems than AC
Kathryn: This damage likely isn't from your wheel well. It is classic water intrusion from the door-side rear outer corner of your camper. These corners are very hard to seal completely enough to stop

Wouldn't I just do the entire compartment floor?

Re: Ugh bigger problems than AC
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
