Glad that fixed your issue @Skevern 👍

I hate squeaks or other noises also ,,, I drive Mrs.RV8R nuts with my obsessing about them 😁.


Now you can continue with your build to completion @ which time you load your van with gear such as utensils that will provide you with road music during drives over less than perfect roads;

The factory wood floor is glued on no squeaking might try and find what they use.I put two layers of closed cell interlocking foam (Gym mat type stuff) on top of that then thin plywood and vinyl flooring in traffic area

Hi,

Any ideas on what to use as a permanent 'fabric layer' that doesn't invite mold growth? Some ideas:

• Thin Underlayment foam
• Painter's plastic tarp
• Landscaping fabric
• Just glue the plywood down to the XPS sheets, hope it works?

I'd pretty much guarantee that gluing the plywood to the XPS would stop squeaking at that interface, but if its also squeaking where the XPS meets the metal floor, it won't stop that.

I would say that you could do what us hillbillies do here in Tennessee, just turn the radio up louder, but that could get me kicked off the forum. I have used an underlayment foam in a Casita rebuild to help the floor stop squeaking when it was walked on, and it really helped, but so did the vinyl free floating floor.
