Yes it depends. I cut the old carpet from around everything when I did mine. Like someone else said, most coaches are carpeted and then everything else - including the walls - get installed over top of it.
I didn't do the cab but if I did (and will someday), I'd pull the seats out. They're just 4 bolts. I had them out to replace the engine :)
And definitely yes to Pergo (or any engineered wood) (Edited from "laminate" - didn't know the difference). More durable and looks like real wood. This is my '84:



You need to leave room for expansion so you have to put 1/4 round along all of the edges. Overall I'm very pleased with this upgrade over the stinky old carpet.
