Both my previous 2001 Tioga and current 2007 Trail-Lite bought used had cab carpeting that needed replacement. I've gotten pretty good at re-carpeting and it's not all that difficult. Both had Ford cabs and once you remove the seats, doghouse, and door well trim and side wall trims, it is pretty easy to install a replacement carpet trimmed to size using the original carpet as a template. I also install a dense 3/8" pad underneath to keep engine heat at bay. I cut the new carpet just a bit larger then trim as I place it. Once the seats are bolted back down, the carpet is anchored, I use a crown stapler to attach the carpet at the wood threshold to the coach floor. I suggest a low and dense nap carpet that can be flexed easily to fit the contours.
