Uneven floor

There is a noticable solid hump across the floor of our 19. It seems to run from the fridge to the kitchen, across the trailer.

Any other 19 owners have this issue?

It doesn't bother me, it just seem odd for it to be there and I want to make sure it's not a problem.

Our floor is flat.
After reading Ron's reply what I mean is no visible hump. The floor may have a crown or be slightly dished but no noticable humps can be seen or felt.
I never tried a level on the floor, I made sure the fridge and stove were level.

Do you mean that if you put a long straight edge from ahead of the bed forward that it would teeter-totter?

If so, yes, I have the same situation. When I put a short level just ahead of the bed I get one level. If I move the level forward to the table area it's not level anymore.

I think that the frame is bowed with the high point in the center, not much, but not perfectly straight either. My theory is that welding brackets etc. caused some shrinkage on one side and made the frame bow. That's typical, if you do a lot of welding on one side of a beam it will cause the same effect. When I was welding up the space frame for my car I had to alternate sides etc. to prevent the frame from pulling.

This is a picture of my 19 and I can feel the filler under the flooring. Less filler or some beltsanding in key areas would have been nice.

My 19 was nice and level front to back. It did drop off towards the door a good 1/4".

I'm not sure I'm describing this correctly. The lfoot seems level everywhere but this one spot has a hump or dropoff that you can definitely feel. It feels like Eggscape's puc looks.



Maybe I'll put a straight edge across it and take a picture. We'll post it and send to Escape and see what they say.

The floor on our 2015 19 is flat, as far as we can tell. I'm thinking there are some minor variations.

Eggscapes looks like floor leveler between 2 sheets of plywood that didn't get a great job of feathering.

Yup...that’s it...most people would not feel it but I knew exactly what it was as soon as I walked over it.
