    Floor

    Our 2017 27RL reflection 5th wheel has a noticeable softness in the floor in middle of living area. All sudden we feel like a main support in middle the floor slopes a little and feels soft! Anyone else have this. We have been fulltime traveling in this since Feb.2019 and it seems things r starting to happen. We had our back end shift because of a broken weld. And now we fear something under the floor has broke. Thoughts please thanks!

    I'd be dropping the coroplast and seeing if I could see any issues. If you aren't sure what you'd be looking at, I'd get it into a RV repair shop to have it checked.

    It's possible you could have a leak in an exterior wall that's staying in the wall until it gets to the flooring. These floors are not glued down and it's possible water is infiltrating underneath somewhere under the wall framing and working its way to a low spot.

    Thanks everyone for your suggestions. Steve went under camper and took underbelly covering off a little so he could see a ything and nothing from underneath so think we will take it to dealer and see what they think. Thanks Tara

    Is your floor laminated? Sometimes the foam will compress over time in heavy traffic areas making for a soft spot.

    Redapple 63 that makes complete sense. Thank you! We never even gave that a thought.
