We're looking at hybrid trailers and found one for a decent price that is just what we were looking for...but the floor is soft. The only indicators of any kind of damage is the soft floor and the sliiigggghhht smell of mildew (which I originally chalked up to the canvas pop outs). Is it possible to have a soft floor with no other physical signs of water damage (that we could assess anyhow). We opened cabinets, looked under things, looked at the ceiling....did not see any visible signs of water damage. Next step would be popping by the seller's place again and pressing on walls, poking cabinet floors, etc - but really is there *any way possible* that a soft floor could be a structural issue? (Its a Trail Cruiser by trail lite camper and some folk reported a soft floor because of structural issues - thin floor and thin joists set too far apart?)
Second part of my question is that is this something that we could repair ourselves or are we crazy for even thinking about it? (I have absolutely no building know how but I have friends who do and I'm willing to learn). I mean - tearing apart the floor seems like a tough job but doable - but if the WALLS need to be done, too then.....yikes.
I appreciate any advice - thank you!
