It's been 4 1/2 years since his last log on.. Possible he is no longer monitoring the forum..
As an aside, in the intervening years since this post, I do know of several owners who have installed interlocking floors in their pods, and they have helped immensely with a soft feeling floor. And require no fabrication and/or welding. |

I'd like to know more about that. General cost, installation difficulty, weight that would be added, etc etc. =)

You mean like a click-lock floating floor?

Yes, like Pergo etc.. I have never weighed the stuff. Quick internet search says 1- 1.5 pounds per sqft.. Thickness and backing would be the difference.. I suspect somewhere around 40-45 sqft would do a 178.. It's snaplock, pretty simple to install. I have not put it in a camper, but I have done some in homes. We put carpet in the Airstream, our Pod didn't suffer from soft floor, and we had a very rare factory carpet insert, and the Lance floor is to beautiful to cover.. LOL

We recently put a vinyl plank click-lock floor in a spare bedroom we're using as a sewing studio. It went down fast, is very attractive, and is waterproof to boot. I'd never thought about putting it in the R-pod, but now that I think about it, it might be a good choice.

The only down side to vinyl plank would be that it would not provide much stiffening to the floor. I put it down in the kitchen and in two bathrooms and a closet in our house. It went in pretty quickly.
