I could be wrong here, but it would seem to me that too stiff of a frame and floor could very well cause abnormal stresses on ribs and skin seams, etc. But please, I'm just guessing on that last matter there -- it's an opinion, and I'm no travel trailer engineer. Just as a general rule of thumb, I'm hesitant to stray too far away from an original design, just as a precaution. Unless it's something I definitely know.Jimbo / '76 Sovereign
Well that's a whole new factor to consider, I don't think that came
up in the last discussion about that aircraft flooring. I knew the
shell was also structural but I was thinking mostly about the benefits
of that, not the downside of it. Anyone got any encouraging words
about this wrinkle?
