have recently purchased an elddis wisp, a very nice van but the floor has raised up threw parts of the inside by the sink area and between the large seating area at front.Initialy thought delamination wich could be repaired , however on lifting the carpet again have realised that the previous owner has already tried to repair by pumping in EXPANDING FOAM hence the bumped up floor !!!!!.I Not a good idea, we now want to repair with the proper glue stuff but not sure wether or not we can  cut out the parts of the bowed floor to remove foam and re bond with resin from the inside of the van as long as we seal the cut edges and wieght down the floor, maybe even use the same wood.Any advice would be more than welcome.

Hi Dizzy24 , welcome to UKCS , you could try this , cut 2 straight lines along either side of the bowed floor , then ease the bowed bit up a little and scrape out the expanding foam ( may be use a saw blade to do this ) , then when you have got the bowed floor back down flush or a bit lower , you should be able to do a delam repair .
Just an idea , hope it's of some help .

Ps make sure the delam glue extends under either side of the non bowed floor .
