is it common for a van less than 4 years to have this problem

Do you mean the floor is spongy/saggy in front of the cooker?

This is a common area for delamination,  ours went over a length of about 18 inches just in front of the cooker and sink.   OH repaired it last year, he treated an area about 4 feet long and 2 feet wide to be sure he got it all.

no like a dip you feel it as you walk along circular

the main walk through area is spongy an bouces fron door to end

Sounds like you have bad delamination.  The bit where you feel the "dip" could be the join between 2 pieces of ply.  The floor is too big to be only one piece.  Once you fix it with the resin stuff it should be OK.  Look underneath to see if there is a lot of movement in the bottom ply.  If there is then it could benefit from some extra support too.

However the "dip" may just be the bit where the delam is worst.  Ours felt like a "dip" at first too and it tool me a whole season to convince OH that we had delamination.

You will need  one repair kit per 2 to 3 feet length of floor that has delaminated, depending on how "disintegrated" the polystyrene is.  How long has it been like that?  The longer you leave it the worse it will get.

Oh dear!!     I trust it will all be fixed under warranty?

We had some water ingress in our Sterling at 36 months, but we had taken a 60 month warranty so it was all covered, beautifully fixed by our dealer and now at 90 months is still fine.

My Lunar Lexon Ds is 20 months old and has gone in 2 places aswell as water ingress so bad that it fills the magazine storage bin in the door, black mould is comming through the rear wall and at times has been known to fill the shower tray to 1/2" in a bad rain storm, we leave the plug in to stop insect ingress. LOL
