floor replacement, shell on or off

[joemccusker]

Hello,

I have just purchased a 62 safari- my first airstream. I need to replace the floor. From my research here I gather that I could replace the whole floor without taking off the shell. Is that accurate?

If so, I think that the front piece of plywood will slide in due to the radii on the leading edge. Should subsequent pieces be cut shy to be able to slide under both side walls? Could I cut them the proper length and flex it enough to fit under the walls? what if I double layer 5/16" ply? Or should I cut each one in half and have seams? I am disinclined th have seams in my floor. How far under the walls of my AS should the floor extend? All the way I suppose.


I look forward to hearing from some of you who have approached this problem alreaady.


Thank you,


Joe
