We replaced carpet with laminate flooring

Is there a big difference in weight between the carpet and the flooring?

Don, I think it added about 100 pounds to the camper weight. I used 4 boxes at 36 pounds a box which equals 144 pounds.

I'm estimating that the carpet I took out weighed around 40 pounds - maybe a bit more.

In my case, the extra 100 pounds on the back of the camper will probably be a good thing as I have plenty of towing capacity but am close to the max pin weight.

Looks nice.

Looking good! Nice work.

That's nice looking. Congrats on job well done! Currently RoadAbode just has Linoleum throughout. This would definitely be an upgrade. Were you able to just cut with a utility knife or another type of blade?

It's easy to work with. Just score it a few times with the utility knife and then bend it - it snaps right off. For more complicated cuts I used tin sheers which cut right through it. Aside from the physical part of the project, I'd say if I can do it anyone can do it. :)

*Edit - just read your blog and saw you used carpet knife and tin shears. Thanks!

Thanks for posting. Looks like you did a good job. I plan to do the same upgrade this summer but haven't made up my mind about what materials to use.
