Hi All, please help! So I have a 2008 Sunlight A69. Had her 3 years and hasn’t missed a beat. Over this season (I use it year round, so I only have one season) I’ve had a soft spot just as you step out of the washroom. I thought it was just compression of the timber board as both myself and the Mrs both step out onto the same point so wasn’t overly concerned.
Last weekend I totally broke the tap in the shower room (it has been on its last legs for a while) I had a jubilee clip around the outlet to keep the shower hose connected as it had crack on the underside. Obviously I had to strip the shower cubicle down so did that and found no water issues behind shower boards or on pipes etc.
Whilst at it I took a board out to access under the washroom just for a look. As I took it out one of the screw holes produced clear water. Panic set in. The soft spots are clearly related. As I pushed on the floor near the screw hole more clean water appeared. Yesterday I set about cutting into the floor (horrible) as thought maybe the screw had penetrated a hidden pipe. No pipe! I cut the floor back as much as I could to dry boards. The insulation was wet so I removed and I’m in the process of drying out. No water was on top of the floor or visible underneath, this is in the middle insulated part of the board. I can not locate any leak. Has anyone any idea or experience? I find it strange that it is within the insulated board and not on top?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. My poor van.

but nothing obvious. Why is it in the middle of the board?
