New floor finally going in the Avion

All the prep work is finally done so we can start to install the replacement floor. 

We thought about installing solid oak, but it is incredibly heavy.  The original floor was a "sandwich" of two thin sheets of plywood with  1 1/2 inch styrofoam filling.  To keep the trailer as original and lightweight as possible, we're going back with the original style. 

We haven't decided yet on the final floor covering, but it will likely be a nice vinyl for durability. 

Ready, set, measure, cut!



This is the area under the refrigerator and the stove....we had cut back all the rotted wood to good, solid original floor.  Then it was bolted to the metal frame.



 Next we measured and fitted the foam board in place.  (it's what you see green)




And there it is - the first section of floor replaced!  It's nice and "solid" feeling.  A good evening's work!
