Newbie here from Lake Charles LA
Hi! I'm new to the community. But I'm looking at a 2018 Sierra 372LOK. Does anyone know the floor composition? Also the floor creaks in the hall area....doesn't feel soft...just creaks. Should I be concerned. Very clean and they are asking $38,000.
Thanks,
Dave

This will help with construction stuff...

Lots of stories of floor reinforcement on various RVs. I think basically they added supports between the floor joists. Getting to it may be the difficult part.

I grew up in Lake Charles and graduated from McNeese, now living in Ft Worth. We have a Georgetown 377 xl. Happy camping.

I have a 2016 355re the floors creak in every room, I mean it`s like snap crackle and pop when we walk you can also see the floor flex when we walk. I talked to camping world about it they said it would cost $150 hour to fix. They said they had no idea how many hour`s it would take.

The hotter it gets the louder the floor will creak and check the roof to see if the staples are pushing up against the membrane.
