Title: Advice needed: replacing a hard floor
Post by: Aurian on June 20, 2016, 07:31:38 AM

Hi all,
Just looking for some advice. I have been offered a good price on a hard floor pioneer in Brissy. However the floor has some spongy spots in it. What would be involved/cost in replacing the floor? I belive it is marine ply.

Additionally what have people used to repair small rips in canvas walls (6cm).

Finally, has anyone transported a trailer from Brisbane to Cairns and what was a ballpark cost?

Any help is appreciated.
Cheers Aurian.

I don't know what the construction of the Pioneer is like, I did the Floor on my 2001 CUB and it was a bigger job than I thought. Was about $600 in materials and probably 30 hours work.

Thanks for the advice all. Have decided against it, too many variables to make an informed judgment without seeing it in the flesh.

Yeah contacted them but I was made an offer on a different camper I couldn't refuse. Will be travelling down to Cairns in the next week or so for an inspection/handover. I'm hoping to have a new addition to the garage soon 😆😍😎 Will keep ya posted.
