Floor edge lip

Post by tforturton »

If you put a plywood floor down in the back of your camper, how do you sort the lip edge at the door? Assuming that someone somewhere must sell extra tall strips to do exactly this job, could someone tell me where to find them, and what they're called?

I can see where it's screwed to the flooring, but where does it fix to the bodywork? Or do the screws go straight through?
