Trailer Flooring Replacement

I have to replace the vinyl flooring in my older 19' Dutchmen TT because it split from end to end in the cold of the winter of 13-14.

What's the easiest way to do this that ends up with a decent result? Can I use self-stick 12" square tiles? The subfloor is plywood, not OSB, and is pretty smooth, but I don't know if that stuff will stick. Maybe I need to prep the floor with something?

Do I have to go with continuous sheet vinyl? That would be pretty difficult to get in there, I think. I would have to do it in at least three sections, with little strips of aluminum over the joints. If I have to go with this, should it be glued down? The original has no glue under it. At least that makes it easy to remove the damaged material!

Thanks in advance for the advice I know I'll get!

First off this is not an overly difficult thing to do and you do not need a pro to do it. It is time consuming and can be frustrating but taking your time and getting set up correctly is half the battle.

I would use the vinyl sheet flooring in a pattern that is NOT geometric. This will help the results look better.

consider taking up your dinette or a few of the cabinets, they just screw down to the floor.

Precut a piece off the roll that is a bit wider than the widest point you have to cover. Get a very good and sharp linoleum knife and blades and go to work. If you misjudge an area then put in some molding/trim.

Good Luck!
