my compass rambler floor has desired to part company with its self ,the thing is the floor gone soft /or what ever you want to call it in lots of different places along the van floor from just inside the door then from the loo/shower door in different places to the front of the van so there,s lots of small areas of spongey floor some it only four by five inches wide which you can see when you put a s/level across them any ideas would be welcome on repairs, at the moment I am leaning towards glueing a sheet of 1/2 ply over it just to save messing about with the one shot kits off eBay and drilling hundreds of holes in the floor to sort it out as I don't think it worth the hassle of doing along with the other things that need sorting out .

If its an older caravan then all that really matters is that it works for you & provided the repairs work then that is all that matters. If you think the plywood will do the job in the easiest & cheapest way then do that.

Silly question ,while pokeing around in my shed trying to find my multi metre I found a container of PVA multi adhesive and I was wondering if that would rebond the caravan floor if used it the same way as the repair kit ,drill holes inject glue etc ?
