We prefer the vinyl and rubber flooring over the carpet. Easier to clean and to keep odors out. Every piece of fabric material will absorb odors much more than vinyl or rubber will. We also don't need to keep a vacuum in the motorhome. It was one of the pet peeves we had in the TT, although there wasn't a whole lot of carpet in it. Advantage of vinyl/rubber is that if you spill something or get water inside somehow, its much easier to clean up. The carpet and mat (if there is any) is going to retain moisture. It will be difficult to get it out. And if you have pets and they have an "accident", then it's diffucult to get the odor out as well.
