One of the blocks of wood I use under the stabilisers I've just noticed it has woodworm. I have found out that woodworm will attack plywood, i.e. the motorhome floor. Is this a problem with motorhomes or am I being a little dramatic, and should I ignore it.

extremely unlikely as modern ply is resin bonded....and woodworm wont eat through resin.

pre 1950's ply used a different glue and was susceptible to woodworm.

your floor will probably be phenolic ply which is a sealed (looks like a plastic coating) and pressure treated plywood.

but of course, bin the blocks anyway.

Holes appear in the wood as the mites come out if fresh dust then mites still active as said extremely unlikely they will effect the plywood but I would burn the blocks of wood
