After three years of full time RV Life our camper's floors started breaking down and getting soft. Our camper is a 2018 Forest River, Wildwood Heritage Glen LTZ 326RL & it's time to fix it !
We are not professionals & this is not a how to by any means. We are sharing what we did. In addition, Big Daddy did some grinding inside on this video (do not do this unless you have experience & fire safety equipment on standby) He is a welder and was a firefighter however I was still a bit nervous ;-)
Wishing everyone a wonderful day !

The floor looks great! Your husband did an awesome job!
Thanks so much! 😊 Happy 4th of July 🗽
Thank you for documenting this. I have a heritage Glen 272 RL with the same issue. This will be a great resource for me going forward with my repairs
Your very welcome
I liked how you explained so much.. my floor I believe is worse than yours was.
I believe same issue with drain area from center sink. I am going to tackle mid August allowing 10 days.. I am up in age..
I am concerned about room slide out..
We did not have any trouble with the slide, but we recessed everything, so it was not any higher than the original floor was. Being on the knees for long periods of time was hard and some days just had to end the project sooner than others. I wish you the best with your project. It is lovely when it's done ☺️
Big daddy they could use you in Indiana is the fastest worker I've ever seen on a floor
Great job! Big Daddy is a pro! Ya’ll did a lot of great engineering to get around the poor job the manufacturer did. Finished product looks brand new! Wishing ya’ll happy travels!
Thanks 👍
Good on the subsectioning and angle iron supporting. It is too bad they can't do a slightly better job when they first build these things. Throw a couple grand more into the price just to know it has a better foundation. The wall and roof structures of these things is far from desirable to say the least. These are almost as bad as owning a boat, just another hole to throw money into.
Have a similar repair to do on a 2005 Jayco ultra lite. Two door. Had a leak in the back that I wasn't aware of until one day in was coming down in buckets. Rear entry way has the kitchen/sink in which is the main entrance. Right in from of the sink is where it became soft. All of the sink cabinets, pantry and under the refrig are probably gone. This was purchased used as the third owner five years into it's life. I used specifically as a work trailer while away from home over 12 years. It paid for itself the first year as I parked it on company property. Had I paid to park it, the cost would have been on average 1k a month, so in reality I saved close to 130k over those 12 years in rental fees while working away from home. In light of the repairs needed and costs to do, I feel it's worth doing if we want to use it as a weekender or some longer trips. Paid for the first year. I've gone over the all of the roof joints with great stuff and plan on revisiting again to solidify sealing. In those 12 years it was only roaded around 400 hundred miles. As we all know, any travelling on or off road merely loosens all of the joints. For full timers, it is a must in knowing each particular model and the history. Like anything that requires any kind of maintenance, these things are like running a scraper spread, you need a fulltime mechanic for every 6 scrapers, 5 to keep running and one in repair mode at all times.
And yes, great job, good information to file for my project.
I'm the proud owner of a 2004 Jayco Designer 5th Wheel. 5/8 plywood, no problems.
That's awesome, wish I knew then what I know now (but in retrospect at least I know now) The older campers were certainly built so much better, thanks for watching and have a great night ☺️
Ya did good. I need to do something similar with my dads Nomad travel trailer. Thanks for taking us along.
Thanks for watching!
Looks awesome! I love the color. ❤
Happy 4th!!!!❤️🤍💙
Thank you! Wishing you the same, see you next Monday xo
Imagine that, structural styrofoam didn't hold up to the task. Great job guys.
I bet your happy to have that mess behind you! We went through it one time in our kitchen, (which is huge) came home from a weekend of camping to a flooded kitchen, the refrigerator ice maker line broke! It was flooring like you have. It was a mess for 3 weeks, all swelled and water standing! A nightmare. Insurance did cover it though.
Oh, I so wish the extended warranty would have covered this like your house but that was a big NO... however, I know you understand how it felt and thank you as always for such a kind comment. Wishing you and your family a safe and happy July 4th 🗽 - see you next Monday xo
What did you use for the angle iron screwed to the aluminum studs? What did you put on top of the plywood,below the flooring?
Great job big daddy and your wife did good explaining. Hard for real men to work with their wife’s. Lol
😆👍
I had a camper built like that, I had the same problem. These manufacturers should know better than to build something like that, anyone could tell that it won’t hold up very long. To make matters worse there’s not any support structure on the frame to build back to. You did a great job it’s just a shame that you had to do that..
I'm wondering did big Daddy insulate under the coach and reattach the black weather tarp?
He did not replace the compressed foam but did reattach the black tarp from the area that he had to pull it back to put supports under the beams. It is currently 25° and we have no underpinning (currently in the south). There is no difference in the floor temperate from the areas that were replaced, and the areas not touched so does not seem to make any difference.
Just curious if the peel and stick stays put with slide going in / out?
We have had no problems with it. We did use glue on it as well. Thank you for watching and have a great day.
Just wondering if you folks are from a cold winter environment. I heard the peel and stick don't stay stuck in the cold north east. He did a great job.
We are from Florida and our winter travel is in the south currently and hopefully for a long time LOL. We have wintered up North, it was fun to see the snow but got old very quickly 😁 No troubles with the sticking in here but we also used glue (I think it was liquid nails) Thank you for watching and have a marvelous Monday 😊
I would just like to know where you put those metal rods to hold the wood did you have any slide outs in any of the area you replace the floor
Yes, we had slide outs on either side of the floor that was replaced. The angle iron was recessed so the plywood would be flush with the existing metal (frame)
who made this camper you could let us know cause I’d like to stay away from it
It is a Forest River Heritage Glenn LTZ. Model 326RL - thank you for watching.
Campers are built inexpensive yet sold,overpriced. They are a ripoff.🤮🤮
