Aquahot leaked, How would you repair bay floor?

[g_man1146]

Kurt,

Did the carpet go under the AquaHot or just around it? On my '99 they didn't use
carpet in that bay but went with a thick, black vinyl tile/linoleum. They did
the same in the bay forward of that with the waterpumps, filter, etc. and to the
rear in the water hookup bay. All others have the carpet.

with. I'm not going to take the Aquahot out until I have to. Too much trouble
for whatever advantage will be gained.

tear at all; I had to cut it out. A little elbow grease and some Acetone and the
slimed glue is off the sheet metal floor and is ready for a new covering, I'll
get over to Home Depot and by some more Ozite in the morning,

compartments and wanted it to look the same so I called Holland Motors in
Michigan and they had a piece of that gray stuff, I would call around to some of
the old BB dealers and you might find the right stuff. Also when my A/H leaked
I had to pull all the sheet metal and replace the duct liner insulation around
the tank, it was soaked with diesel too.
