removing carpet from my rv
Greetings everybody, and belated happy new year.....hope everybody is staying warm in this cold snap we're having....
To my question....I have an '06 Monaco LaPalma DP. it has factory carpet in the front, under the front captain chairs, one side of the living room, back to and ending at the bathroom area. Where isn't carpeted, is factory linoleum. I also have a 12'+ slide, with the carpet underneath.
I am in the midst of removing my couch, and other stuff from the front of my rv, and in addition, I am removing the carpet from the front, and replacing it with linoleum. My question is, how big a job is it to remove the carpet, or would I be better off finding someone that knows what they are doing, so to speak. I'm hoping that it just peels up off the linoleum that's underneath it, and the linoleum stays intact, and I can just lay my new linoleum on top of the old...and I think I just answered my next question in my last sentence....
I have been shopping, looking at vinyl sheet linoleum. The down side from what im researching, is that its very thin, and easily tears. Does anybody have recommendations as to what 'level' of linoleum I should be looking at for durability, as compared to easily tearing, from what ive read, even after install?
Thanks in advance for all the helpful assistance im sure to get....this, (and you) have always been my go to source for answers, and you've never let me down. Thanks, and happy motoring!
