Another floor repair with 2x6 T&G planks

We (reader Mindy) used 2x6 tongue and groove.  Primed and sealed.  Everything is great!  I have used it a lot the last 3 days.  Only small issue is with the 2x6 t&g it raised the floor raising the door.   Now the pistons don't push the door all the way closed it stops about 3 inches short.  It is very heavy for me to hold shut and latch.  The floor itself looks great.  The guys did a nice job.  Any suggestions for tweaking the door?  Mindy

Me:  Have someone bevel the back edge of the floor down below where the door is interfering.   Forcing that door closed can bend the hinge and the rear door frame.   This could be done with a belt sander, disk grinder or even 30 minutes with a sharp wood chisel.   Happy Trails!   Jeff  (and Thanks for the pics!)

  1. Do you know if there is a how-to on this float around the internet? Mostly I am wondering what the trailer looks like under the floor, and what is holding up the front of these planks. Did they have to make a lot of modifications to use this style of floor? I just bought a 2004 that has a rotten spot in one of the corners, and am trying to figure out how to replace the floor.
