I understand from researching the matter that the wooden floor can be removed in two pieces, one large and one small (the front passenger side corner). Any tricks to ease the removal?

Once out I'm thinking to replicate the floor using a marine grade plywood, and epoxy coat it.

My dilemma afterwards is, do I cover the floor with insulation and carpeting, or put some veneer on top and leave the wood exposed (for aesthetic purposes)?

Cheers,

I haven't had to replace any wood floors. I know there are posts on it but I think most of them are buried in build threads. Maybe someone that follows the Suburban build threads will remember.
