You've already done most of the hard part....why not go all the way?
I think you'll be fine if you just splice the new piece to the old from underneath, using a 4" wide piece of ply, glued and screwed, all along the seam. This is how airstream says to do it. If you want, you could use a 2' wide piece, filling the entire cavity in the framework down there. Screwed in from below, it'll more than do the job, without affecting the interior of the trailer. |
Nice pics, Is the Pergo 18"X18" or 6" wide? I like the floor, that is what I am planning. Not sure why I would want to take the rear panel off? The bolts that are there are solid. It would be a task to remove them. But I'll look at the area again. I'll be posing more pics as I go. I may run a new cross memeber along the back to stiffen it up.
