Chopshop, thanks for providing the link, it was a great read on the subject. There have been a few times that I thought I felt a soft spot on my floor as well. Every time I tried to locate it again on purpose , I wasn't able too. With my trailer having another year under warranty I will make sure that this is taken care of if it becomes more noticeable.
Bracing the floor from underneath seems the logical way to handle this. Even if it meant having to drop a tank. I would have hoped this would have been an area that Jayco would have addressed by reinforcing the span over a tank if this is the area that seems to be an issue.
There are several trailer companies who build using the same floor plans as Jayco. Prior to purchasing our trailer I was told that some companies under speced the lightweights and ran into problems with floors not being strong enough. They than stopped making them because of the complaints. At one time our trailer design had a second door and a lower weight rating. I just hope that they have it right now.
