The flooring frame design in the mid 1990's leaves the floor sagging in the middle, on my 1994 Itasca Suncruiser. The 1990's design did not include a center steel frame piece to hold up the flooring boards, where the edges meet in the middle of the coach. Result, serious sagging and weakness.
Thought of several solutions, including welding a steel member under the center. This will not work because the heater ducting was installed to act as a frame support, but doesn't work. It's made of thin aluminum, screwed into the bottom deck.
Another solution, insert a thin, rigid steel plate above the deck flooring and under the carpet. Then, using long bolts, secure the steel plate to the flooring panels to pull up and hold them into place.
Anyone tried this remedy? Sure would like to hear of other solutions as this was a major problem with many mid-1990's Winnebagos.
