We discovered that the floor is broken. DH said by the looks of it, there must have been a leak at one time. Grrrr.....Why didn't we notice this when we bought it?!
Anyways, has anyone else had to replace the flooring? We know it's going to be time consuming. Any tips or pictures? Thanks in advance.

I discovred a problem like that on mine. Nearly the entire bathroom floor was bad. I ended up tearing out the entire bathroom and redoing it. Put a new commode, sink, built a vanity myself, kept the same tub though. Even redid two of the walls because the damage was due to a leak in the back corner from the outside. At some point I should post pics. I tore out what I could of what was bad, replaced the 2X3's in the floor, and then used marine grade plywood for my subfloor. It's a ton of work, I won't kid you, but saved myself about $1500 by doing it myself. I'm also much happier with the bathroom than I used to be.
One big tip, don't get stingy on the tear out. If anything, take out more than what's necessary, never less.

Each situation is different and you won't really know what to do until you get in there and take out rotted floor. You have just as much knowledge of how to do it as a RV tech would. Try to tie into the existing floor joists that are solid to firm up a foundation to lay a new subfloor. I can almost guarantee that it will be built better after you are done than it was when it left the factory.
