Gulfstream conquest 32ft on Kodiak diesel 2005, Soft floor probl

Yahoo Message Number: 9500
Has anyone had this problem and what was the fix? The area over the dual wheels is soft and pops when walked on. No water leaks, unit is garaged most of the time. Understand problem is a common one w/GS units.

The sales booklet says 10 year warranty, would this be for 1st buyer? Have 23,000 on the clock, Iam a 2nd owner, got the unit from 1st buyer. Any info on this subject would be great, John

This is a common problem with 2004 and 2005 model super C's. It can be repaired by putting a 1" square tubing frame across area above rear axle. I am not aware of any 10 year warranty except for EPDM roof.
Here is a picture of what GS did to 2006 and newer model Super C's.

Notice that I included a cross bar to support seam in floor.
A good welding shop should be able to do this repair. If you do not have equipment to do the repair.
