I am working on my floor and subfloor and I have two questions:
#1 - Should my wall (which attaches to my wood framing) rest on the steel frame outriggers any?
#2 - What's the best way to check that the floor is square on the trailer frame?

The wall does sit on the out riggers.
If you are not replacing the skin I would try to rematch all the original measurements even if they are out of square. I have a 67 and my walls were an inch narrower in the front than the rear. I'm using the old skin so that's the way it's going back

To check the floor for square:
Measure criss cross, then shove the long measurement towards the short measurement. Anchor one end down so that it can not move when shoving on the other end. Repeat until both criss cross measurements are the same.
