Just had a look in side the caravan, and noticed a bit of floor that springs a bit. I thought it may be delaminated, but have discovered that there is a joint in the floor in this spot which is moving. I don't if there is anything I can do to remedy this myself. Has anyone here had this problem? if so, how did you cure it. 

Many thanks.

Can you email me a picture of the joint .

Yes I can, but will have to wait till I can get underneath again.

Many thanks.

If the joint is under the caravan and the floor is springy when you walk on it , it is imo  most likely to be delamination . Tips and pictures on how to cure it here  http://www.1carpc.co.uk/wcdr/delamination.htm

Many thanks for the replies. I know that the floor is a sandwich of ply-foam-ply, but do you know if a joint in the bottom sheet of ply will correspond with a joint in the top sheet of ply? If they don't, then yes you are probanly right about it being delamination. I have now got a picture from underneath, but I don't think it shows very much.

Personally i wouldn't have thought that the joints would correspond above and below as this would make for weakness that could be avoided .
Only by removing a small amount of floor covering will you know for sure .
I would still treat it as delamination , as the glue will make the floor rock solid .
