Jerry,

There is a difference between your 73 and 77 coaches.

From the top down the 73's floor consists of:

- Carpeting / decorative wood / vinyl / etc.
- 1" thick plywood

From the top down the 77's floor consists of

- Carpeting / decorative wood / vinyl / etc.
- 1" thick plywood
- 3/4" thick Styrofoam
- Aluminum sheet

Thanks for the responses. I wasn't thinking about this curing vapor-lock but as one part of the whole.
What ran through my mind was:
I believe the best way to stop heat penetration into the coach is to stop it before it gets through the floorboards. I wonder if
this could be a less
expensive and lighter alternative than multiple layers of floor coverings on top of the plywood floor.
It is available premixed or as an additive to other paints.
If used in the premixed white, it would be a bear to keep clean but, you could see any leaks right away. :)
