Floor chips in silverback

I just bought a silverback 5th wheel with wood flooring I am on my first trip out with it and I already have two chips in my floor. Is anyone else having the same problem?

I don't think so it feels like a composite with rubber where the chip is any way

That's a great idea didn't think of that. I thought maybe a stone got under it but I didn't know how it could have. I will let you know what I find.

I would say a laminate with wood look attached is a picture.

A type of linoleum (sheet flooring normally found in home kitchens if not carpeted or tiled). Congoleum is the company most known for this type of product (kind of like Formica). Linoleum is thin and may tear.

Try a stain pin. The kind used on furniture to cover up scratches.

I have a couple on my floor. I will try to touch up that way.

it may tear because its no longer glued and is made quite thin as of late...

Yes I agree I've only had it 1 month I want to see what the dealer has to say about the warranty before I cover anything up.
