Mine is still in the U.S I'm trying to make live easy by getting them cut to the correct sizes so I can get them replaced
Sure am mate .I just got mine and now getting it fixed up before we go over there next year and drive around the U.S and Canada.
You probably saw my thread where I replaced my floor. I have the floor dimensions somewhere so could get them for you. Here's a rough summary for my '78.
House Area: 5 sheets of 3/4" ply. No routing needed.
Cockpit: 2 pieces of 1" ply for the steps and cockpit. These are heavily routed to suit the aluminium frame.
All my sheets were 2400 x 1200 but 8' x 4' would be better.
NOTE: I think, and others may help here, that the earlier 'house' floors were also routed to fit the aluminium frame. If you need to route it will be complicated

Floor replacement
Morning all, I'm about to to get started on replacing the floorboards in my '78. I've not torn up the original floor yet but I see that the front sheet that extends from the bottom of the cockpit steps rearward is 4ft wide. Here in Australia it's much cheaper and easier to buy ply in 1200mm...

By front you mean the raised cockpit floor where the driver and passenger sit? Or the front of the house area where the couch and dinette are?
I can get the dimensions for you tomorrow. The main issue will be routing the floor to fit the aluminium frame. I have attached a photo of 2 of my floor pieces. You can see how much material needs to be removed. The deepest part is routed 3/4" deep leaving only 1/4" of material.
