Feel free to help me out!!!!!

I have checked my van again and the delamination is briefly....horrendous

Would it be worth stripping the van and re-laying the whole floor.......

The area from the kitchen area to the rear of the van all appears to be "spongy"

I have checked the underside of the van and all  appears ok except for 1 small area near the nearside front support (wood rotten but not the main frame just the "treated" plyboard.

Also because of the area and urgency I am looking at using the expanding foam filler, and weighting down the floor, that is if, complete replacement is either too difficult or too expensive.

Other option is to sell the van on Ebay and buy a replacment van, letting the buyer know ALL the problems.......

my 5 birth was delaminated from the kitchen/fire area all the way to the back.....its a few hours work (1/2 day) to do, but well worth it.......make it good........its well worth it.

I have just done mine from the middle right to the back. It's an easy job - it just takes time.

I used the chemical resin from Apollo which is what the dealers use. It is easy to use and does a great job - the floor it totally solid now.

Hi Sprouty , i wouldn't use expanding foam , i'd buy the proper stuff if i was doing a large area , do a search for    Delamination   you'll find some good posts covering everything you need to know .

There must be several descriptions about this procedure with images in English, but I only know a Dutch source.
