What kind of epoxy did you use?

Whats it like 2 years later, is everything still good? Thinking of trying it myself....thx

Hey great video BTW does that bottom hose have play in it?

I feel like all thats being done is creating little pillars that make it feel solid. I suspect those pillars will eventually push through the bottom layer.

Fixing to do the same with my Siesta floors, how has the vinyl plank flooring worked out, I was wondering if the joints would try to flip up of come apart.

Ok newbie here . Great video glad I found it but I have a few questions please be nice. Started pulling up Lino still very sticky what did you use to remove glue ? How did you get Lino from under the slide ? Last any idea how far down you drilled the holes .TYA

Are you happy with the choice to use Plank flooring after the repair? Did you glue the Plank down or let it Float? How is it Now? Thanks for the Video

How much epoxy did it take you approximately? 1 gallon or more?

would you do the same thing again? I have a very old Travel Trailer with several soft spots and was thinking about ripping it all out thinking it needed sub flooring repair...

Yes! That's the rattle I have!!! I had to really dial-in my searches but I finally found you! I tried to get into it from underneath but the knobs on the unit wouldn't let me get the panel down and I didn't try anything stupid. But this was my next step! Thanks for the information!!

'Promo SM' 🤪

If the crankcase breather was sorted and not letting so much oil past the rubber hose would last a lot longer Rubber pipe and oil really not friends

Fabulous -- and yes, Ambassadors!

I bought an old travel trailer 1975 I think it's what it says and is needing lots of repair and replacement I'm pretty sure the floor in the bedroom is riding at least it is next to the Walls and have no idea of how or the cost. I will be doing the majority of the work by myself. I can borrow the tools have no one to help or show me how.The trailer only cost me three hundred dollars. First thing I really need to take care of is installing installation and the door. Has holes in and out close to window. Was lucky I didn't have to find a place to park it. Any suggestions for this 67 year on a fixed income. I do know how to lay carpet and I've helped my car composition shingles this is all new to me.I like to call it Rachel's little castle and in a lot of was perfect for me and my firbabies cause I was able to get away from the abuse from a couple of family members. Thank you and God Bless

Are you still happy you had the emission modification done ?

Great fix!

Thank you for that, exactly my issue. 1100 miles from home 😉😎👍🏻

2008 315cdi 4cyl p0243 wastegate actuator A plus p0299. I'm stuck on the road any help I appreciate it

I have an RV specialist that is reccomending a fix by cutting out the tile and spreading a thin layer of self levelling floor compound thin set

Thank you for taking your time to do this video. I have a Thor Hurricane 34J and I had to replace the couch and when doing so pulling out the anchor screws they came out really easy. Putting the new ones in it felt like it was delaminated. I have had a soft spot in front of the couch scene we purchased the RV.. Anyway I thought it was water damage when doing the couch.. So it looks likely is probably not... I will probably just live with it now knowing this.

I would rip the floor up and put in aluminum angle iron for bracing.

Campers are built like China builds merchandise for dumb Americans/illegal immigrants.

same thing in my 2007 starcraft never buy a camper with a floor made this way there aught to be a law

Hello, how do you know if there wasn't wood rotten by water under the white plate?

We’re did you buy the opoxy and syringe?

Where did you buy this epoxy mix?

Very nicely, concise and very informative. Thank you

Good job man thanks for the vid

what type of epoxy did you use, Im going to do the same to mine, the video was great, thanks

I did the AEM recall. They gave it back to me with a check engine light for a faulty glow plug. which wasnt the case when I gave it to them. I also had to pay 500 to get the emissions system back online because it had been deleted (apparently). My van used to be an ambulance so a DEF system would be a hazard in an emergency situation. I don't trust them at this point. I honestly don't believe they did all that much extra work since I don't think anything was missing from the system just not plugged in. They should have footed the bill there, but they prey on ignorance. The $2000 incentive was not worth it which I am still waiting on, it has only been about 3 weeks though. I know better now. I'm probably gonna undue everything they did now lol. Emissions systems ruin your engine life.

The take away message is DO NOT BY THOR!

DO NOT TAKE YOUR BLUETEC for "free recall" if your car has no CEL on!!! If you let them mess up your emission system, you will lose your MPG and use more AdBlue (DEF). But that's just the beginning, you will have a bigger bill waiting for you down the road from MB stealership. I received at least 2-3 phone calls a day from MB (can't verify if from MB or their dealers or scams) asking me to take my OM651 in for free recall and they offered me total $3K incentive for me to take in. MB also mailed me a very fancy WIFI speaker with a flyer of $1K incentive for me to get my car recalled. We all know there is no free lunch and if it is too good to be true, I will pass. Now Mercedes exhausted all their efforts on me, they started calling my family and my kids and threatened them if I don't get my recall done, DMV will not renew my registration. I immediately called DMV and the answer is I still can renew my registration. I also called Mercedes (800)367-6372 and told them to stop threatening my family on my car's recall and they hung up on me. Shame on you Mercedes. "The best or nothing". The best is your past, nothing is your present!

Smh...thanks for the video. Good job but where's your mask Buddy? Epoxy is poison.

Were all Thor floors for 2014 built like this? Mine is also soft. When i took out the receiver for the table leg, the floor looks like it is wood sandwiched between two layers of plastic/aluminum. I'm just curious if they were all built that way as in your video. I plan on srartimg this project as soon as the RV gets back from the mercedes dealer. Should be about 2 weeks before go time.

I assume that if the floor is soft and caved in, this is just kind of a bandaid solution, if I were to do this, the floor would become stiff but still caved?

I have soft flooring in my bathroom and around the kitchen area, im a first time RV full time living and i've never done any renovation. I'm not sure if this will work or not, I have a 2016 forest river Wildwood heritage Glen. I think I might try this but im unsure, its really really soft in the RR

Thanks for making this video. Just finished repairing the floor in my truck camper.

Yes thank you! Every time you ask someone they say it’s water damage. No it’s not. Where our soft/springy floor is it’s right above the water tank thus there is no brace up underneath. So high traffic area over time will lead to this. Thanks for the video. RV manufacturers need to get their head out of their ______!

Nice video, thanks. BTW, unsure why the Mercedes dealer dumped an extra $100 profit margin onto the hose? It’s no mystery to me. (Dealers used to be a good place to buy parts. Now with online shopping, they aren’t. They compete by refusing to compete.)

Thanks!

He does refer to the fuel as gas, a lot. One day it may get some gas instead of diesel.

What about just using the Premium thick Vinyl Plank flooring alone? I have the same spongy floor in a 42 FT OPEN RANGE which is a Thor product also. Only 4 years old and stored inside!

What type of epoxy is it , do you have the name and any details.thanks

Great video , my 2017 sprinter cargo van with 145,000 miles, I’ve had to replace the turbo cooler hose twice , so now I carry an xtra one . No fun being stranded 300 miles away from home

$211 hose. Wow.

The emissions modification was done on my 2013 Bluetec EClass. My highway mileage as calculated on the "From Start" went down from frequent interstate driving trips of about 38mpg to just over 31. I've had over 43mpg on some long trips. The car had a check engine light come on after 126 miles of mostly freeway driving. Got it back to the shop and I was charged $800 for a fuel pressure valve that they said was just coincidental. When I picked the car up after that it was running very rough. I tried to take it home. I had to return after just a few miles because it wouldn't shift right. Now waiting for bad news about another "coincidental" failure. Mercedes customer support has been no help. Just blowing smoke and they refuse to answer questions about the software updates and won't give me info on how to find out about was addressed in the software update. The lawsuit does state that coverage for repairs to any "reasonably affected system" should be covered. Not. This was my last Mercedes for sure. If anyone else has run into these same troubles, please reply.

So the only thing I am confused a bit about is how does the epoxy flow underneath inside your grid/drill holes? Seems like it would just flow back up through the hole.

I appreciate you taking the time to show how you repaired this. So thinking through this, is the idea that the epoxy is filling in the void areas (that have been created over time & traffic) between the thin layer of subfloor and the compressed structural styrofoam? How is it holding up after 6 months?

I like that everyone's first instinct is to check for turbo leak, which naturally isn't wrong but I have yet to find someone who discusses why and how the van knows a turbo leak exists. most people are not aware that the van checks for correlation between pressures pre turbo and post turbo, when those values differ, codes are thrown
