plywood

I am considering building a foamie in a classic teardrop shape but considering building the galley section with plywood. My logic is that the galley doesn't need insulation and plywood makes it easier to install cabinets etcetera, including the hurricane hinge for the hatch. I am intending to...

If i can get a hold of this (looks like 1”) shiplap cedar. Could i just glue it down onto the xps foam board I’m using to insulate the floor? Instead of using plywood and hardwood floor can i just fasten this stuff on top of the foam and be done? How should i fasten it? Chuck cassidy just glues...

I am new to rvs and had a small incident putting a small hole in the roof puncturing the plywood. We got some rain coming Thursday and am wondering the best ways to repair this the right way.

I am building a shower in the v nose. I have walls framed in and sheeted with 1/4" plywood. What can I seal the wood with to make waterproof? Not doing any tile. Was going to use aura defense but the tub says not for use on plywood. Any advice? Thank you

Hi folks! I have a 1997 Bounder 28T, bought a year ago to completely gut and rebuild. Enjoying the process :cool: Looking for advice on properly rebuilding my floor. The floor in high traffic areas have become extremely soft, and looks like there was some moisture damage on the upper plywood...

Hey everyone, I recently purchased a 2004 Jayfeather 19H that appeared to be pretty clean but had a couple of minor things fixed. Or at least what I thought was minor. As with most things once I started peeling things back I found more and more issues. There is quite a bit of water damage on...

I'm on the last section of my floating subfloor but I just don't know how to terminate it. I watched Chuck cassady's video where he puts a wooden end cap over it which I like but I don't know what to do between the end of that and the driver cab. Moreover I've got that patch at the driver side...

Hello everyone! I’m currently doing the subfloor in my skoolie (40ft flat nose blue bird) and I want a floating subfloor to avoid the thermal bridging. However, there are gaps and whatnot along the walls and where the pink foam sheets meet up with each other (I’m using 2” thick polystyrene). I’m...

2013 31XL Redhawk plywood rotted underneath slide Hey, The plywood "sandwich" which exists between the steel slide mount and the aluminum subfloor has greatly deteriorated and needs to be replaced. I do not want to take out the slide floor (which seems to be sturdy and in good condition) and...

2021 197BH model with the murphy bed up front. Has anyone taken apart the platform which folds down and the mattress sits on? Our bed is uncomfortable, feels lumpy / uneven, which I suspect is platform. Thought I would ask before I take it apart. Thanks

Had a little money to spend and I am going to be working on floor in the near future so I thought I would go ahead and buy the floor material. I have stripped my bus down to metal floor. I am going to treat surface rust and prime/paint. Base will be 2x4 framing and 1-1/2 rigid insulation topped...

I've posted a few topics here in the recent past but this will be my main thread for our conversion. We live just south of Tulsa, Oklahoma and we bought a 2000 Chevy 3500 short bus with a 6.5L Diesel and it has 189,000 on it. It also is a dually and the tires look brand new with great...

Hey guys, So I've been hard at work gutting my bus these past few weeks and I've gotten a lot done. All the seats are out, as are the wall panels, and most of the flooring/plywood. My problem is that my Plywood goes underneath my heaters on both sides of the front of my bus as shown...

The bus I bought already had some work done on it. There plywood laid on all the floors but the previous owner did not insulate. Looks like he just ripped out old flooring and screwed plywood into the bus floor with TEK screws. There's also some framing done for a bed and bathroom walls. I live...

Should the floor have 2X2's to prevent the insulation from being compressed? Afterall they say compressing insulation actually makes it less effective. Or should you just lay insulation with glue then tongue and groove plywood? Another reason I've heard to use 2X2's is to prevent the floor...

My wife and I travel in our 2012 Thor ACE 29.2 for business so we're constantly using computers. When we both want to use one, especially if we have an additional monitor, the dining table which came with the ACE, at 26" x 39" wasn't large enough. We bought a piece of red oak plywood at Home...

we just bought a 2008 used jayco jayfeather 23b hybrid. Dealer stated no soft floors or water damage and to be honest even with looking over the unit pretty carefully we couldn't see any signs of water damage or soft floors. EXCEPT AFTER we got it home, under the u-shaped dinette (where of...

Yeah I just wanna know if anyone has tried this: I was thinking of pulling up just enough of the rubber floor to find the seams of the plywood and then Use a heavy duty box cutter/laminate tile cutter to cut the rubber along the seams and then just going straight to lifting up the plywood. Just...

I have a 2015 28BHBE that is 2 years and 9 months old, and has clear "steps" at many of the plywood joints in the roof. It's almost as if one sheet is 1/2" ply next to a sheet of 1/4" ply. Knowing that is not the case, I can only assume there's water intrusion of some kind causing swelling or...

First of all, sorry for posting if this has been answered before. I'm at the bus all day and can only access through mobile. I'm having a hard time searching the site. We're working on pulling up the floor now. The rubber is coming up relatively easy, but we're having trouble with the plywood...

My project is coming along well, but I could use some advice on material for the subfloor. I want to use a type of plywood that will sit flat and solid on top of my rigid floor insulation and be a good anchor for studs and screws. The flooring guy at my favorite wood supplier didn't know what...

Hi all, Simple question and process just thought i would ask the pros. What is the best way to fasten the plywood to the floor to minimize torquing, end-bends, etc. I am putting an underlayment and laminate on top. Yes i know laminate is an "iffy route" but it was the cheaper/nicer looking...

Ok so this is my 4th post and I have bad news. Upon removing the check valve and water regulator so that i could clean out a dirt wasp that decided to make a home in the water inlet. I was cleaning the carpet in that area and noticed a soft spot in the floor. I was thinking of cutting out this...

We have flooring sections all over our 31' 1976 Sovereign rotted out. We've already got the marine grade plywood to replace the whole floor. Here's the question: Can we replace the flooring sheet-by-sheet, rather than ripping it out all at once and bracing with 2x4s, etc.? If we were to...

Taking the plywood off the frame. The underside of the trailer was sprayed with a insulation foam, before the belly pan was installed.
