Thanks for the reply and sorry to hear you have what sounds to be the same issue. Please let me know how it turns out and what you find. I am curious if it could be that the floor was installed in the space between 2 frame supports and the weight in that area caused it to crack which is causing the flex. Either way I am planning to take up the diamond plate strip at the rear by the dove tail and cut into the rubber mat to try and see what the wood looks like. If I had to bet it isn't glued down like they say it should be and I should be able to pull it up with some heat. I will keep you informed on what I find when I get back from my trip and dig into it.
The under belly of the toy hauler portion is not covered by Coroplast, but rather the wood is covered by the vapor barrier material, can't remember the formal name. Anyway, you can see all the supports from underneath. If at all possible try not to cut the flooring material. That diamond plate transition will most likely be glued/sealed so it takes slight prying to get it up. Also keep in mind you can get to it from the bottom. You might have to cut the vapor material, but it can be resealed with gorilla tape. I am starting at the top so the epoxy will run into the wood, but I might look underneath and see if I can inject some from the bottom as well. I can feel the soft spot underneath so I will drill a series of slam holes in the rotted area and also pas the area a few inches as well to find good wood. Good to see, well not so good, but good to see I am not the only person shocked that a 2016 trailer has rotten wood. let's compare notes to see what works. I am hoping to get into mine this coming week sometime.
