New Class C's don't come with cab carpeting now?

While shopping for our new larger and longer class c, we noticed that most of the major manufacturers no long carpet the cab. Didn't seem to matter if it was Chevy or Ford, they all had black rubber floor like you'd have in a commercial truck. My 2004 Winnebago had nice carpeting, and it ran from the cab to the kitchen where it's vinyl. Guess the manufacturers when they decided to use vinyl thru out the MH felt it unnecessary put carpeting in the cab since they get the cut-away chassis without it.
wonder how much it would cost to get it carpeted. It does insulate the sound and engine heat somewhat.

    Our older Ford-based C has a carpeted cockpit, but it's clear the option didn't come from Ford. Rather was cut/fitted/glued by coach builder. Probably more labor than they want to expend...
  • We have the 2015 Mercedes Benz Sprinter, Four Winds Siesta.Our unit has Rubber Floor with Carpet overlay, like a well fitted mat around the entire cab only.

    Tile for the living area, we added runners along the length of the living area.
    We like the set up, carpets are removable for serious cleaning and easy to clean around.
  • I've noticed that too. The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter has the rubber floor up in the cab too.

    Mine's a 2002, and the coach manufacturer carpeted that area.
