Carpet Replacement in 2007 Northern-Lite

Hi guys, I have a 2007 NL 10.2 RD that I would like to replace the carpeting in. It has carpet under the dinette and at the step to the bed area. Question: is this easy to replace? It seems like the carpet is glued down. Has anyone done this and have pictures/explanation on how to do it?

  • The carpet will pull and scrape up. You can sand out the roughness and install vinyl, carpet, or whatever. I like vinyl for easy cleaning and you can use carpet runners over the vinyl and easily replace those as they get dirty.
  • never thought about making it wood. that's cool.

    I tore the top of that step out and found another storage compartment under there. I made a new step with tongue and groove maple flooring on it with a sliding bolt that locks it in place. I just release the slide bolt and the step top now slides out for storage underneath.

    The carpet was also stapled in place.

    I maple floored the dinette area too.


    I took out the four screws that were thru the step carpet. I glued and screwed a 1X2 on the underside of the front inner edge of the step and just set it back in place. I also took out the little drawer and its hardware. I removed the drawer front and screwed it in place from the inside. It looks like the drawer is still there. There is a lot of storage room under the step.
