Issues with Floor in Jayco 23exp
we just bought a 2008 used jayco jayfeather 23b hybrid. Dealer stated no soft floors or water damage and to be honest even with looking over the unit pretty carefully we couldn't see any signs of water damage or soft floors. EXCEPT AFTER we got it home, under the u-shaped dinette (where of course we didn't stand) there is a soft spot that extends under the storage bench and to the front door. I'm not sure if this was or wasn't water damage, without pulling up the floor itself. I've read that the hybrid models have cheap luan/foam sandwich board as a floor base and I'm wondering if that could be the problem or part of the problem.
I also read that some folks with this issue in the hybrids will throw plywood down over the floor for stability and then put vinyl or carpet over that as a fix to keep you going for a few years.
We don't intend to keep this trailer forever (bought it used to get our feet wet before jumping in and buying a newer more expensive model), so without doing major reconstruction on the floor to the tune of thousands of dollars, anyone have any advice ideas on how we should handle this?
The one spot near the dinette feels like I might put my whole foot through it if I put my whole weight on it!
