Floor Flex?

I have a 17 Rockwood 2504S and I know in the past with the laminated floor some trailers have developed soft spots where the floor delaminates. I have been in other non lite trailers with plywood floors and very rarely feel any flex.

My question is I know the laminate floor is not as strong as the plywood but I seem to have some flex. Is this normal? It’s not in a certain place you can just feel a little give when you step. I am just paranoid since others have had delaminating issues.

I am also interested in this, because I can see the floor flex a little when people walk on it (150 lb adults) when I am level with the floor, looking in from the outside.

Some of the Lite/Super Lite RV's have a thinner sub flooring to help save weight.

Mine has some flex, but I'm 300 pounds. I figured it was me, not the trailer.
