I sure will, Bobby. It won't be right away as our
inaugural trip is expected to be the first weekend in November for the Vintage
Rally at the Top of Georgia Airstream Park.
I'm not expecting any problems (naturally). The floor is a
floating design and has built in expansion capability to allow for some movement
as may be expected during over the road travel. I would be more concerned if it
were glued or nailed down.
I spend an afternoon with Jim and Mary Smith from Tampa at
a campground at their first night stop near Savannah on their way to
the New York State Rally. Jim is a retired boat builder and had done a
wonderful job installing a hand made parquet floor with inlays that looked like
the deck of a really expensive (sea going) yacht. Must have been a
million individual pieces made into an intricate design pattern. Jim said
that initially he had trouble with the floor pieces separating which he
cured by laying some heavy fiberglass mat and coating it with epoxy. The epoxy
had a lot of depth and I was surprised that the fiberglass was completely
transparent. He had done a lot of other custom inlay woodwork in his
coach.
The point being that Jim's floor is now a one piece
construction not unlike the Pergo I installed. Of course mine isn't held
together with fiberglass and epoxy like his is. I hope my Pergo will hold up in
traveling as Jim's custom floor has done. Time will tell as
you inferred. Thanks for the interest.
