Hardwood Floor Installation or ???

Looking ahead, eventually the carpet in the front of the coach will need to be replaced...right now it's still in great shape so this query if only for reference...or I buy a coach that need carpet replacement.

Since I know Nada about floor coverings I may be asking some rather dumb questions.

First, I have heard/seen references to both a "floating" floor and screwed floor. What is the difference and what would be the most suitable for a MH.

What other options should I look at besides Hardwood that still complement existing tile (unless I replace all the tile also)but still maintain high quality appearance?

Thanks for any suggestions.
  • Thanks for all the replys. I tend to gravite towards the hardwood but will investigate some of the vinyls.

    Do any coaches use a vinyl as original flooring??

  • I like and changed our carpet out and installed luxury vinyl. Like it a lot!
  • I vote for true hardwood floors, but I'm bias.

  • just got done installing a sheet vinyl floor in my class A. measured and cut it a little bigger than measurements so we could adjust if needed, then cut along walls with a razor knife. Lays right down over the osb floor. Looks so good we didn't even have to install trim molding. We did make it easier by removing the dinette and the seats up front.
  • Floating would be the best way to put hard floor down in a motorhome, I have floating hard floors in my house and its held up well after 10 years..
  • I found vinyl planking at lowes that looks like real wood. Easy install and looks awsome. Best part it is vinyl
