Subject: [SilverStreak] Rotten Floors

Hi everyone,

I'm a new Silver Streak owner having bought land that had one on it.  It
appears to be a 70's model about 25 feet long, the last 2 digits in the serial
number are 75 so maybe it's a 1975.  It leaks as all the caulking is dried and
cracked.  While cleaning it out I ripped up the carpet and underneath was the
plywood floor in the middle and linoleum around the edges.  The plywood looked
solid but when I removed the folding couch/bed I noticed signs of moisture
damage.  The bottom of most of the wall board show different degree of water
damage and there are water marks on most of the floor edge.  In one spot the
floor has started to rot at the edge.  Had I not removed the couch I would
never have discovered this rot.  Almost all the rest of the floor edges are
covered by cabinets, appliances etc.  I was planning on screwing thin plywood
or OSB as the new floor covering.

My questions are, aside from fixing the leaks/moving it under cover, what
should I do about the spot in the floor has rot?  What are the chances that
other parts of the floor I can't see are rotting and should this be a
concern?

thanks,
Daniel
