How to repair rotting wood in your travel trailer
 Assess of how much rotted wood there is. If wood rot is due to a water
line burst, first remove appliances or counters to repair the leak.
 Most rotten wood is in the floor; these repairs take longer because you
need to remove and replace floor areas.
 You might be able to repair some rotten wood with a marine epoxy.
 Removal of the dinette or cabinets may be required for repairing some
rotten wood areas.
 Most travel trailers have floors that consist of plywood with a hard
insulated center.
 Create a new floor using properly measured lumber, to replace the old
floor.
 Once you have repaired the floor you can cover it with matching sticky
floor tiles. Or take this opportunity to give your trailer a new look with a
new tile pattern.
