Replacing carpet in a slide out RV?
I want to replace the carpeting in my "new to Me" 1999 Coachmen 34' with slide out. Question is how do you remove the old carpet and install the new carpet under the slide out area?

When I did mine, I ripped & tugged the carpet clear of the staples until I had 95% of it. I cleaned up all the staples as far under as I could see/reach and when I laid the new flooring I only went back under the slide about 6". You'd have to be laying down, cheek to the floor with a flashlight to see any farther in. :)
That's the same model 1999 Coachman Mirada:C- you can send me an email- I know about all this stuff
- OK, I'll try that first. Fresh out of fork lifts at this time. LOL!

Extend the slide, lift the carpet flap on the slide and you should be able to see the edge of the main floor carpet. - When I did mine, I ripped & tugged the carpet clear of the staples until I had 95% of it.

- NO-YOU DO NOT NEED TO REMOVE THE SLIDE
- Remove the slide out with a fork lift. Not that big a deal with the right equipment.
