Did the '89s have a wood-framed floor? Actually, I think all TMs even to this day have a wood-framed floor, at least around the edges, but I'm not sure. Someone on this board ought to know. Or you can call Ed at the factory, who will know, and will know the location of the main struts. If the answer is yes, and if the softness is getting worse or is so bad that you don't want to ignore it, you might decide to slide under the TM and remove some of the aluminum sheathing to see what is going on. By the way, Ed is about the best Customer Service guy you could hope to find. If you find yourself in eastern Tennessee, stop in to see him, whether or not there is a problem.

If you find the worst of all possible situations - meaning that the floor is wood-framed AND the wood has gotten wet and is rotting - then I'm sure the factory could rebuild it for you in a day. I'm not sure you could do it yourself. And of course I don't know the cost or the time required. Again, Ed will give you the real scoop.

But that's the worst-case scenario. Ed might have some brighter news.
