2013 Rockwood Roo 233S
In August, we had an incident where we hooked up the water, the shower was turned on, and we didn't know it. The tub became plugged with the stopper, water overflowed, and luckily we caught it soon enough and was able to dry it with towels before it overflowed too much. Over the next few weeks, we noticed that the floor became soft. So, when the season was over we had the insurance company take a look at it, and finally, we got it to a company that peeled back the vinyl to reveal that there was NO water damage. They cited insufficient floor joists as the cause. There are only joists at the rear and front, and then one 8' from the rear.
Unfortunately, we purchased the camper in April 2012 and it's now November 2013, so we're out of the 1-year warranty window.
Roger at Forest River told us to contact Lippert, the manufacturer of the floor base, as they have the floor joist specs. Lippert said that they build them according to Forest River specs and we should contact them.
So, here we sit, facing having to foot the bill to fix this ourselves. Has anyone else had a problem of soft spots in their Roo that wasn't due to water damage??
