Gonzalo Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 I just Bought a 2005 Holiday Rambler it has 4 Slides, Original Carpet but the carpet is showing tear and wear Wich is my best options to change this floor in the whole RV. I did look different options and I am confused. Vinyl Planks. Hard wood, tile, Linoleum, or come back to carpet. Need help. We went to a floor distribution, and they said a 2mm glue no locking mechanism because the temperatures in the RV could be extreme in winter or hot summer. some of them can be up to 6mm. prices varies. I saw some you tube videos and is a lot of labor removing the carpet staples by thousands. the slides are even more difficult. open to Ideas.

willbo777 Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 We went with engineered wood floors glued down by Ernie Ekberg, very, very pleased. Would do it again in a heartbeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobdinsmore Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 About five years ago we went with a dark blue, very thick pile plush over the thickest, longest lasting padding;.. Should have gone with a medium dark brown; we thought a dark color would hide the dirt but it actually shows it up.. The whole job was done with a remnant (and no seams) from a carpet store who installed it. We have one slide. We did not do the narrow strip around the bed; this was a mistake. Have them bind the leftovers to use as throw rugs to minimize wear and tear in the busy spots. Would go this same route again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacwjames Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 I replaced the flooring in my 2002 Windsor last year. Two slides. I had a section of bad floor in the front that I had to repair. Luckily it didn't go under my ceramic tile. I did the job myself, took my time and had my coach parked in my garage right next to my shop so it was convenient to work on. I worked on it for ~1 month but part of that was waiting on the trim pieces. I installed the Pergo LVP sold at Lowes but they don't stock the trim pieces. I think I spent ~$1600 total. The trim was about 25% of the cost. Time will tell how it holds up, the first time I replaced the flooring it was in 2009 and lasted until 2021 when I found the soft spot. Here's a post I did, a number of people provided advise and pictures of their installs so a bunch of ideas. Towards the end of the post I show a picture of the bed box, the rollers underneath had started to chew it up pretty bad on the bottom. Just something to check.
