Bouncy Floor?

We've had our HC out a couple times now. Overall we love our purchase.

However, when sitting in the living slide, whether in the recliners or at the dining table, we felt a lot of movement. At first we just thought that the slide moved more than expected. But I discovered that it was actually a lot of flex in the floor. If it step into the slide and push down I can move the table and chairs...alot. It feels like if I sit down a little too hard in a dining chair that I might spill something on the table. We aren't large people and I'm trying to imagine having 4 adults sitting at the table. It feels like it wouldn't hold the weight.

I looked at another new HC and it was similar in floor bounce in the slide. Do other HC owners experience the same thing?

The floors in most if not all camper slides are a single piece of plywood or OSB. That is why not hey aren’t very strong.

Thanks, guys, just wondering if it was "normal". My previous experience with a full living slide was in a 1996 Kit Road Ranger. The floor it that slide was as solid as the rest of the floor. This one is whimpy.

Anyone have any issues with 4 adults sitting in there?
