Awesome work! I am currently replacing a floor in my 2006 Rockwood by Forest River, 33ft. Whole floor needs replaced. I will be replacing it and putting down vinyl plank like you are.
Most of the subfloor is junk, pulling out all the foam insulation and putting new stuff in. Adding 2x4 bracing in between the floor joists for more structural stability.
@@htcinspirecamaro I couldn't agree more. They build them super cheap. I'm eventually going to have to replace a section in our 2018 keystone cougar. And I'll put in 2x4 support bracing just like you did. Great job!!!
The 2x4s I used were pressure treated so they’ll last awhile if there’s any moisture presence. I attached them to the floor joists using 1 1/2” L brackets. They seem to hold well and it has stiffened up the floor already.
Couple questions for you as I’m doing the same thing in my camper. 1. What type of screws did you use to attach the subfloor wood framing to the aluminum rails? I read that mixed metals will corrode the aluminum. Have you had any issues? 2. I thought the LVP was intended to be installed as a “floating floor” and shouldn’t be glued since temperature changes will cause the vinyl to expand and contract and you want it to be able to do the seems don’t bulge or separate. Have you seen any of that happen? Great job, loved watching this project as I’m working on mine.
Hey Rich. So sorry for the delay in response. Just seeing that I didn't respond. I'm not sure about an easy way but what I used was just a standard piece of T trim and liquid nails. It actually looked good and held up nicely.

Love Rockwood. Are you replacing the subloor or just the top?

Just got a 2007 this is on my to do list. Did you have any carpet ?
We ripped all the old carpet out and replaced with LVP.
@@WillMosbey that looks great the way you guys did that.

How many boxes of flooring did it take?
I don't know exactly. I believe it was 5 boxes. I ended up having just a little left over.
These are great videos! super informative and illustrative
Thank you Sara. I'll be doing another floor soon in the tiny house series.
IS there an easy way to cover the slide gap and make it sturdy?

Have you found that the vinyl plank flooring shrinks and or expands with temperature changes and movement?
No it doesn't change in size at all. Since it's not wood. And extremely durable! I really like it!
What mm did you buy and is it waterproof or just water resistant?
It's 100% waterproof. It's from Shaw. Go check out Lowe's item 2145167. Great product.
