The Bottom Issue The first thing in the trailer build, and something I wanted to improve upon, was the underbelly. The original camper used a sheet of asphalt board as the protection for the bottom of the trailer. I'm guessing it lasted okay for the first ten years...but after I got it, over 50 years later...it was shot. Front, curb-side, lower corner of trailer showing extensive damage to the asphalt board and exposure of the insulation...in which some critter had made a cozy home. Temporary Deck Knowing that we were going to have to haul whatever materials we purchased for the new belly pan, we first installed a temporary deck on the trailer. We used 3/4" plywood, with the intention that this would eventually end up being our trailer floor. Temporary Deck
