replacing carpet in motorhome
I want to replace the carpet in my motorhome with wood flooring and wondered if anyone knows if the carpet is usually glued to the floor or stapled? Thanks

Keep in mind, that you will most likely be adding a considerable amount of weight, when replacing carpeting with wood.
Full thickness traditional wood flooring is undoubtedly more weight; one source I found online suggested it's double the weight of a carpet and pad, so probably more than double the weight of the typical RV carpet. It may also be too tall for any slides to clear properly.
Engineered wood flooring systems are lot closer in weight and thickness and would be a better choice for those reasons.
My son replaced carpeting in 2 of the Cs I've had over the years. We used that engineered wood flooring, which was considerably more weight than the carpeting it replaced. ;)
