Squeaks and creeks in the floor can be fixed. They are caused by two things rubbing on each other. Locating the issue is usually the hard part but once located a paint stick or some rubber tape i have even just removed and replaced a screw that was not tight before. A good dealer should take care of this for you even if warranty wont pay for it just to keep you happy. There is a soft spot in all campers where plenum meets heating duct work, the bad part is that it is usually in a high traffic area.
I have seen as of late problems with the new laminated floors as well. you can tell if you have a laminated floor by looking at your floor registers if it has a flat metal bottom you do not have a laminated floor if it has a round hole on one side or the other you do. These floors fell soft all over but once in a while there will be a real bad spot this can be fixed by adding structure from under neath.
