New Vinyl Plank floor!

Well DW got tired of the cheap carpet and wanted something a bit easier to keep clean at the beach.
We found some nice vinyl plank flooring at HD, it is 4mm thick and is a click lock install.
The part I worried the most about was real easy. That was working. back into the kitchen.

This is what we used.



All the old flooring ripped out and all staples removed, ready to start.



Some things just work out! Just needed to trim grove off next plank at cabinet.



Kitchen filled in nicely!



Now looking for a nice piece of grey carpet for the slide out.



Needed to bring in slide about 6" to get the last pieces in place.



Used oak screen door trim from HD.

Oak trim



I ran the oak trim thru a table saw and took just the radius off one edge to sit flat on the floor.
  • In the end that’s exactly right it was really not a big deal to glue down the dozen or so unglued tiles!
  • Decided to go ahead and replace the Carpets throughout the remainder of the rig!
  • Nice job! Some of the products available today are really pretty.

    I personally hate carpet in a RV. Its a sand magnet for the beach and a mold magnet anywhere in the South or near water. And you can Never really get it clean. If you absolutely Must have some protection for those tender toes (like say on a cold winter floor), rugs are the way to go!
