Purchased a Toyota Sunrader several months ago. Part of the floor did have slight sag when i bought it. Was thinking that, at worst, it would be a bit of dry-rot that i would fix. Once i got it in my hands, i removed the carpet preparing to tackle the issue with the floor right off. Lo' and behold, the flooring material appears to be fine. Even took a 'core sample' to see how the foam was, and if there was separation. That looks fine also. What i did discover is that the floor appears to have been bent upwards just under the refrigerator and appears to sag beneath the shower-room. This is all on the driver's side of the coach. The sag under the shower appears to be near 1/2 inch or so. Furthermore, it also appears as though there are some missing carriage bolts in the floor. Are there missing cross members underneath??? This i do not know. The holes (presumably missing bolts) are near the rear wells. There are two of these. Toward the rear of the coach, there are two sets of carriage bolts in the floor that go down and fasten to a cross member that itself is attached to the chassis frame. Have Toyota pickup chassis diagram from Toyota. Yet, that does not show me the layout of the supporting structural members and how the Sunrader was attached to frame. Is this rig safe to drive?
