hymer floor

[Burtie]

thought i would share these pictures of my motorhome and work in progress
as i noticed the floor getting a bit soft in places i think the rain has been getting in the skylight
as it had a crack in it but has been sealed now so i hope to try and put more pictures on as i
go through the repair.
I even had to change some of the polystyrene as it looked like it had melted from the glue that it was stuck down with luckily I had a load of it put up just didn't realise I would need it for this job

Love the Van, bring her back to her former glory!

 

[Burtie]

It will on the outside but not too sure on the inside
as I don't know what the last keeper took out or changed
so when ever I see another the same or close they all look
different inside.but I think I can imagine where things are
going in mine and it is supposed to be a six berth
all I know is when it's done it will be comfortable inside
as it's only the front end that needs doing

Is that what is called double skinned, floor then insulation then floor?

 

[Firefox]

Well done, you are doing a great job restoring her... interesting pictures of construction. It's pretty much how I have done my self build floor, polystyrene sandwiched between layers of ply and battons.

@Haaamster My idea of a double skinned floor is (rightly or wrongly) a void underneath the floor which they use for running services, bits of which can also be used for storage.

Mine should be in the same colours as yours at it is an early 80's model (Reg'd here as 84), if you need any internal pics then just ask, I don't have the original seats but otherwise it's original.

Thanks for the offer of pictures I have a couple on my laptop
of one the same size but as iv been in mine yesterday I can
clearly see where the seat belts go so thought I would put the seats
back in. I don't have any under floor storage that's why I'm putting the
seats back. All the front part where the driving seats are is done now
but my phone won't connect up to the laptop for some reason
but I will find a way

hooray two more pictures of that front part i started i can work my
way back now

 

[Burtie]

more pictures from my motorhome work on the floor moving back
half of this floor pulled up easily



some more pictures the wood is not wet it was brought like this

 

[Burtie]

i have not been doing anything on my floor due to the weather so i thought
i would do some recovering on my seats to pass the time away untill i can get a chance
to start on my floor again, let me know what you think

 

[Burtie]

[Burtie]

thanks everyone now the rest of the seating

 

[Burtie]

Started my floor again so going to put pictures up soon
but I decided to take everything out bathroom/shower
and all that so when finished it will have a complete new
floor even though it was only the front part mostly

cupboards stacked up that end now as you can see im coming up past the entry door now so the next board
