Carpet replacement(s) - but with what??

[boston_blacky]

Carpet replacement question(s)? After 7 years of 'fair wear and tear' our 5th. wheel's carpet must go. DW wants Vinyl Plank; i.e. Alure installed everywhere except on the slides where new (upgraded) carpet will go.

I see where some do not recommend Alure Vinyl Plank, as it may come unglued in the cold/heat and I am also concerned about floor damage caused by the movement of our three slides!!

This project is something I need you to advise me on - please.

If you have done this type of DIY project in an RV - what do you recommend?

Thanks in advance - :?

Roy B is talking about self-adhesive carpet tiles, which are pretty common in commercial usage. They're readily available (both in commercial and lighter duty varieties) from many places; search for "carpet tiles".

A self-adhesive carpet tile is exactly what it sounds like: a square of carpet with a peel-and-stick back side.

I put laminate (fake wood) flooring in my bumper pull trailer. Mine was a click together and I didn't glue mine down. It is a floating floor so it isn't glued down or anything like that.

Here is a picture of it and the bathroom when all done.

I used Allure traffic master - it was a floating floor. Easy to install - looks great - been about 5 years with no problems. We found that using some area carpets on top of the Allure helped catch some of the stuff you would otherwise have to sweep up. You will be surprised on how much stuff you actually track into the rig after you switch from carpets.

I'm not exactly sure what Roy B. is saying. Can someone please help me understand what he's saying here. BB

I got to use those 2'x2' carpet squares from the office when they got replaced. I got GREEN and BLUE colors.

Put down the BLUE on the floors and the GREENS under my tent bed areas on my OFF-ROAD POPUP. Really helped with temperature control inside our trailer. Carpet squares still had their sticky stuff on them and they installed like a dream everywhere. Cut to fit...

We have vinyl floor originally.

I really created a mess however when camping in the woods... Not sure having carpet on the floors was a good idea. We are constantly tracking in dead leaves all the time hehe...
