We're in the process of replacing the carpet in our '73 23 with vinyl, so I'm trying to get the floor as flat as possible. Turns out it has some accident damage when it was hit on the left side and it apparently bowed the aluminum crossmember that is right behind the door. With carpet you could maybe pretend you don't feel the dome, but I think with a vinyl floor it won't be acceptable. Trying to figure out what to do about it. I've now removed the dinette and galley cabinet so it is out in the open. The crossmember happens to be directly over the transmission crossmember and I'm tempted to drill a couple of holes through it and the transmission crossmember, get some long bolts and attempt to bend it back down. Unfortunately, the most pronounced bends seem to be right at the chassis frame rails. Anyone have any suggestions?

I figure by the time I have $10K into it I'll finally have a $5K coach...
