Hmmm...I did it.


Kiln dried and prefinished Expresso Oak 5" wide planks, 3/4" thick from Lumber Liquidators....glued and nailed at an angle to sub-floor. Did not have to raise the sub-floor either, it met the Marble perfectly for height....that is why I went for the 3/4" thick too...

Takes some skill and observation of the mechanism.

Did the drop down floor section first and dropped it , then came around the opening and matched the planks for pattern. Went for a header board at the end towards the driver seat both ways to give the floor stability and something to "hook" into..

Left a 1/8" gap all the way around the moving part for expansion if needed, and sanded a negative angle on the stationary planks along the length of the dropdown section so that when the movable part comes up. it meets it nicely from below with no binding.

Did the lounge from the kitchen/fridge all the way under the dash and replaced the carpet in the bedroom the same way after removing the bed support to make things easier.
