I am pretty sure I know the answer I am going to get but thought MAYBE someone has a good trick to use. The rear floor panel in my '74 Go Tag-a-long has two holes where the plumbing went down through the floor. I am getting rid of the black water tank and running the grey water to a different area so I don't need the holes. I know I should remove the whole panel and replace with new wood, but if there is some way to "fill" the holes and then put the new tile down over it I would love to hear your ideas.
Thanks!

Take a board larger than the hole screw to bottom side of floor securely then cut a plug to set in the hole and glue it in, after it dries fill with leveling compound and sand smooth then install new tile.

That's what I did on my Compact. Someone had put a nasty toilet in the closet.

Another alternative is cut a patch piece to fit snugly in the hole, then gorilla glue it in. I've patched a couple holes in my floor this way. Sand flush on both sides and paint underside to match whatever coating you have and it will be undetectable. Gorilla glue is amazing stuff.

I did this over the weekend. I painted the underside of the boards matte black to match the soundboard that is underneath my floor (just like I saw in Mobiltec's videos), and filled in around the plugs. Just need to sand 'em smooth now. Thanks for all of the help. Many more questions will be coming over the next year I am sure!
