1989 Class B Dodge Clean Up & Carpet Replacement
I have been working on the inside of the camper. Pulled out the old vinyl and the carpet that was in the driving area. The amount of dirt that I had to vacuum up from all those years it was on the road was an eye opener.
I used the old floor as a pattern onto a cheap thin piece of carpet, making all the cuts and markings. I was so glad I did this because the original was not a good pattern and I found my bolt holes did not line up well. I was able to mark up this thin carpet with correct placement and I taped paper to any edges that required more material in spots. I was then able to cut a great fitting piece out of a much nicer and more expensive carpet.
I used the bound carpet edge where possible but of course there are many edges which after cutting are prone to unraveling. So I got some black latex paint and painted the underside of those edges as well as the edges themselves. Took me half a day to do the painting. Looks like it was a good decision and since the bound edges are black it looks great!
