Wow! I'm making the same thing with my Chalet (exactly like the Aliner) and I pulled out the fridge, but the heater is huge! Plus it's so hard to dismantle the counter top and not destroy the hole thing (witch I feel like doing sometimes honestly!) So thanks for your video and I'll wait for the next one!
It is definitely hard, but worth it. And I already knew I was going to replace the countertop because it was water damaged and warped. So I used it as a template to make a new plywood version to match the other top I was going to make and a dinette table I had to build.
Great video, thanks for posting. I am about two start on the same job. I was just wondering how you managed to get the new plywood flooring under the walls when you were installing the new floor?
Since I did it in 6 sections, I would only rip out the particular section I was about to replace which kept the walls from closing the gap that I needed to be able to get the new piece in. If I had ripped out all of the flooring first, I would have never gotten the new flooring in because the walls would have closed the gap/space I needed and didn't have any equipment to be able to lift the walls up to create or maintain that gap/space.
I split the floor into 3 sections and did 1 section each weekend over 3 weekends. With propper help and tools it definitely could have been done quicker. This also did not include removing the old flooring, nor prepping the new floor pieces during the week with waterproofer on one side and kilz on the other side.
Good Vidio showing how to do it Thank you and for your reply

How many days did it take to replace floor or hours?

what size boards did you use?
3/4 inch premium floor grade plywood. It worked much better than the original Luan they used many years ago.
I used three 4 ft x 8 ft sheets in all and cut them in to 6 different pieces to install them.
Thanks!
