New floor covering base?

Does anybody know where you can buy the round molding that goes around the base of the walls to trim out the flooring in a camper. My lance has like round cord that is only like a 1/4" and appears to be one piece. You place it at the base of wall after installing new flooring.
  • Is it wood or vinyl?
    Home Depot has a bunch of options...or go into your local home interior flooring and carpet outfit.
  • Pre finished quarter round, available at any lumber yard either in foam or real wood.
  • Ours uses vinyl round bead welting, few examples here
    molding ebay
    One wall use vinyl reverse cove welting. Its still a welting where the leg is actually between the the 2 pieces. Works better though than the round bead which captures dirt. Still either if I were to replace floor Id have to cut off the bead as leg is stapled? Had to have been pre-applied before setting walls? No way to reattach even if I could find same color. Unless you have larger gap & could insert leg. Id be looking at something else, molding etc.
  • Most call it "Gimp". It's the cheaper way to cover a right angle seam/joint and it's used by most RV manufactures.

    Gordon White (Truck camper magazine) might know where you can find it.
