Attaching carpet to floor

We just bought some scrap pieces (both big enough for the bedroom and the living room) for our rig. DH stapled them around the edges....didn't use that knee kicker thing. If you're doing a small area, it's not necessary. Try to grab up some padding before you put it down. As for cleaning.....we have a carpet cleaner (similar to a vac) we use to clean our carpet. If you put in an indoor/outdoor type (low nap) you could just clean with a scrub brush and soap....especially in your small truck camper.....

I picked up a whole bunch of throw away two-foot carpet squares from work site. Most all of them still had a sticky something on them and I am amazed how well they stay down of the floor. The longer they stay the harder they are to pull back up... The glue comes in a can and is lightly put on the bottom of the carpet squares.

I rounded up all the deep blue squares I could for the floor of my POPUP and all the green to put under my tent bed ends...

Really made a big difference doing away with cold floors in the mornings. The downside is it sure picks up alot small leaves and other things you track inside being out in the woods somewhere...

Get thee to a Home Deopt-Rent a carpet install knee bump/stretcher and buy some carpet tac strips. It's the way RV Manufacturers install carpets. The tac strips are nailed down on the base of the walls/cabinets. I've used this before to strech loose carpets at home and in RV's. EZ-PEEZY!
