'71 Starcraft Wanderstar- "The Hilton"

I am still looking at flooring solutions but am leaning towards a laminate floor and maybe a tile entry area. It may all become sheet vinyl but I doubt it.

Have you thought about using natural cork flooring? It is extremely durable, light weight, mold/mildew resistent, is both thermal and accoustic insulator, easy to repair/replace, scratch resistant, and since it can be bought in tiles is fairly easy to install and put down. Not to mention it looks pretty darn good.

I have seen remods where it has been used in older Airstreams and it looks AWESOME. And with the amount needed for "The Hilton" it might be found as excess stock at some of the national online flooring stores.

Just my 2 cents!

I looked at the cork flooring at Home Depot, yesterday. They sell a plank type of interlocking cork laminate. It did seem to have the properties you listed, acoustic and thermal goodness. The sales associate remarked about it's lack of durability and proceeded to show me the Allure flooring, an interlocking plank made of plastic. I can see that either would be advantageous to TT flooring. This is something I'll be mulling over before I make a choice. FWIW, I operated my own small flooring business for 8 years so I'm able to install just about anything except wood strip. Thanks for the recommendation about cork,I wouldn't have considered it without your post.
