Fantastic Video Big Al. I was wondering if you could bless with me some of your knowledge on how to fix a travel trailer that’s has water damage in the bedroom only? I have removed all the cabinets and front wall and installation. Now I’m stuck and don’t know the best way to handle the flooring as it’s wet even under the foam which I have taken part of it out as it dry.
What about the rot extending under the cabinets? Was there any and if so, what do you do about that? I don't think the rot is going to stop at the edge of the cabinets.
Great video. But let me add a piece of advice to the readers- Dremel is not your only option with these tools. Every tool manufacturer makes a multi-tool (or oscillating saw) as well as an angle grinder or what is referred to here as a Rotozip.
@@SafeTravelRV You used a Dremel oscillating saw to cut out the subfloor. Just want DIY'ers to know they don't have to look specifically for this brand. Every leading tool mfg makes a multi-tool (or oscillating saw).
Ha,Ha. That video was made 2 years ago, shot with an iphone and held by the owner of the RV. She wanted to help out. For some reason, it’s getting tons of views now. Look at some of my later videos shot with a gimble 4k camera. Audio is also improved.
Thank you for this. I’m starting a renovation on a ‘78, 5th wheel this summer all on my own so videos like this are so appreciated.
Exactly what I was looking for. My wife and I recently inherited my parent’s older camper and we have found some areas of concern.
Great video. Exactly what I needed as we have found some water damage in two places. Thanks.
This is extremely helpful & well done! Thank you for sharing :)
Great Job!!!!

Hi, I have never attempted a project that big! Hopefully there is a video out there that can help you. Good Luck
Some time has passed since you made the repair and I’m wondering if the “open door theory” still stands? Most people close the door when it rains!
Great Video! How do you know how deep to cut with the Dremel tool to make sure you don't go to far down?
You can feel it pop through the plywood but if there’s a vapor barrier, you may cut it. no biggie, just seal it back with waterproof tape
Great video thanks for sharing
I repaired half a trailer with this laminated foam floor. You can never get the floor back to support a person without adding metal cross beams.

@@busarider284 There was a little discoloration but no delaminating of plywood. If it was that extensive, I would have replaced the whole floor.
Thank you!
Good information and nice detailed repair instructions. The jerky camera work made me a little dizzy.😵💫
How much would you say you spent on Materials doing this ?
Just materials was around $100 if you can find half sheets of plywood. Honestly, I had everything so you better say around $150!

I used a Rotozip. What part of the video are you referring to?
Thanks !

Steady up the camera please. No need to pan around as you're talking. Keep it steady and simply point without moving the camera
