Hi Friends,
What is the consensus on changing the seam configuration on the floor? I am debating this on my 57 Westerner. The idea came from Rin Tin in his Aloha restoration thread. I believe his seam position was more thought out. I am just swapping pieces. I explain below.
Below is the original configuration. The smallest piece of flooring went under the bed in the storage compartment. Another seam is near the doorway where you first walk into the trailer. The white pole in the picture points to the end of the front curbside floor joist that ends at the wheel well. 4 to 5 inches to the right of the end of the pole is where the doorway would appear. So, that seam is near the doorway. Originally, the floor seams were reinforced from below with 6" wide pieces of plywood stapled upward into the floor. They were also glued.
Seam configuration #1
The other configuration has me switching the the small piece to the front. I placed a dinette bench, to help with the orientation. The seam that was near the doorway is now almost to the bed wall near where the sink would be.
Seam configuration #2
Thoughts on moving the seam from the original position?
Thanks,
Rod
