I believe my 57 was 5/8, definitely not 3/4... A lot of trailers are 1/2 inch with quarter inch overlayment. Makes for a nice smooth surface for your flooring.

I have a 59 but have not got to the point of doing anything with the floor yet. But over the weekend I can let you know because I need to drill a hole in the floor anyhow. It's got a layer of Cellotex between the plywood and the framing. That is usually half inch. The plywood is going to be either 3/8 or 1/2 inch. Will let you know.
I am no longer leaving the Cellotex in when I replace the floors. I'm just using what ever thickness plywood that will flush up with the existing floor. 7/8 inch or one inch total thickness. The Cellotex squishes over time and that is what gives you that floating frame thing in the front where the whole box moves up and down separate from the frame.

The best I can tell, without glue and flooring material, tiles in my case, the floor is a total thickness of one inch. Half inch Cellotex and half inch plywood. That's a full 1/8 inch thicker than the 57 I did.

Mine was just linoleum over half-inch ply, and not enough frame under it either.
