Purchased a 2010  RPod last week a 175 model ( sold my pop-up ) and vintage Scotty a ( project that very got going;;lol) this weekend ...only problem I don't like so far is the
soft spongy floor " at 6'3" and over 250 lbs,....the floor seems very weak..any suggestions???

also about half the decals look faded so that is in the works to get it back in its original glory!!!

Pulled it over 6 hours with the Toyota FJ Cruiser....pulled so nice!!! Got sleepy pulled over at Cabela's and slept in it on the way home!!!

everything else is almost MINT!!!

FR still has "some" replacement decals, last I talked to them (Aug 17)

The number one spongy floor fix seems to be to add Laminate flooring over the factory linoleum. Our 2011 never felt soft, but I have been in a couple older pods that did feel that way, and the Pergo etc helped a lot.

i was wondering about laminate flooring as a floating floor per say? ....i will look into Pergo. 

also a LIFT....opinions on this would be helpful....

i appreciate all replies and opinions!!!!!!

We planned to strip our 177 and then have a custom, vintage style set made local, if ours ever got bad enough. But as of when we sold it last month, only a couple were starting to look bad.
