Hi,
Has anyone got the dimensions of the wooden floor insert/panel. I can't get to my bus at this moment.

Height, width and thickness - if possible.

I have a chance of some free ply sheeting (16mm or 18mm) and was thinking a laying down some laminate flooring.

To answer my own question.

Floor Size is 157 x 155 cm.

Okay, I'm going to put a new floor in the old girl this weekend.

I have a sheet of 10mm Ply that I have sealed with a thin coat of varnish, on top of that I've got some nice Beech Laminat flooring to go down.

My question, do I need anything between the ply and the metal floor?

Any recommendations or tips?

Thanks
Titus.

T`would be a good idea to use a sound deadener, like underlaminate foam etc , BUT any spillages would tend to lie around , so mebbe not -- my AH Kamper has 3/4 ply srcrewed direct to the floor , which still seems pretty unrusty , unlike the rest of the tottering heap of rusty crabp which i am permanently struggling with these days . :shock: :shock: :roll: jaylo

Thanks Jaylo,
My laminat has sound deaden built in (glued to the bottom anyway), I was thinking about a layer of Thermowrap. Don't think it'll do much for the noise though.

Camping mats cut into strips and glued into the ribs in the floor. Makes a nice flat surface to lay your ply onto!

Brilliant, that is a bloody good idea.

Thanks v-lux

Like this, I used B&Q underlay foam, about 7 strips thick to fill the corrugations, and give a bit of sponge when screwing down the board, which I found was 156 cm square.

Then with a layer of Reflective radiator backing I had in the garage, anything will do really.
