Good Day All.
It has been quite a while since I have been on the forum or even to a rally. Life has been very very busy for me and I will post up on the general forum whats up. But right now I need some help. Last summer I was camping out in the Mid-west and found that I had a very soft floor by my slide out in the kitchen. This is of couse my 2010 Cyclone 3010. I found that the rubber gasket that protects the lower part of the slide had ripped and was not providing a seal any longer. This was confirmed by the floor only appearing wet after traveling in rain storms and not when camping in downpours ( yes it was a wet spring and summer )
I have determined that it is time to replace the entire kitchen floor from the slider to the stairs since I had an earlier leak at the refrigerator that compromised the floor along that entire wall includign the floor in front of the door.
I had considered doing the repair myself but I just do not have time time to do it, still too busy.
Is this something I should consider taking back to Elkhart or do I look for an experienced RV service center on the east coast?
I used to have a great service center the next town over but he passed away suddenly a few years ago and then a year later his son also passed.
What I really want to do is have someone remove the slide and kitchen and then replace insulation and then the Floor with Plywood ( not fiber board ) and then install a finish floor, maybe a hardwood laminate style - The Kitchen Cabinets ( at least the one with the fridge ) have also suffered some water damage in the original leak on that side and may be in need of some repair or replacement depending on cost.
So generally looking for some advice here. Where do I go to get this kind of work done?
