[VAC] Re: how to fix the bowed flooring at the doorway of a 59 Traveler

[Webmaster <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The subfloor at the threshold is supported by the step assembly that 
spans the gap between the the support on either side. A threshold strip 
is usually screwed down into the subfloor to capture the flooring 
material (linoleum).

  The common fix is to drill holes all the way down through that strap 
and use stainless fasteners to attach the threshold over the flooring 
and subfloor and onto that support.  The screws and washers would under 
the trailer in the step box well, the countersunk heads in the threshold 
strip.

Now, since this area is usually the first to get floor rot, many 
trailers have repairs and mods in this area, so if someone has already 
mucked it up, you have to adapt this process as necessary.

Best of luck,
