What might be the cause of some flex in 2 spots on the trailer floor? One spot is by the threshold of the main door & the other spot is by the wall with the control panel. Thanks.

Mine too, especially near the fridge. My last camper was a Forest River product and had the same problem. I just got my pod so I haven't done much disassembly yet, but if the floor is made the same as my last one, they use two thin sheets of plywood with a Styrofoam center. Very strong and light, but as the Styrofoam compresses it gets spongy, especially in high traffic areas. I will have to investigate the floor construction this weekend.
