Jim (and others) -

Just FYI, use of wood framing in the shells was phased out in the various models over a couple of years (and certainly not in the 90's), but there is no hard cutover date that anyone can cite. I know that my very early build 2002 2720SL had aluminum framing in the shells. Other members have later TMs that were built with wood.

But Jim, that is not really what you care about. The fact of the matter is that the wood framing in the floor of your particular TM is rotted and will no long hold bolts/screws/anything. It happened because a previous owner allowed water to get into the floor. And the sad fact is that any quick fix will be a band-aid, and may help for a while - but the problem may very well show up somewhere else after a while.

See Mike's comments, and my further comments, below.
