Toy Hauler Flooring

I just picked up a 2007 Sierra Sport 26 foot toy hauler for cheap. The trailer is having the cracking decals removed and being completely buffed out tomorrow. Will paint the cabinets later this week along with resealing to roof and replacing the awning vinyl.

The flooring is old sheet vinyl that is just...unappealing. Looking at removing the sheet vinyl and laying down the Traffic Master peel and stick from Home Depot. Has anyone done it? It doesn't seem like it would be difficult. I've seen some videos where people have put it down right on top of the existing vinyl. Any recommendations or input?

This is the flooring I'm looking at

  • I wouldn't use peel and stick. I can see problems from the heat.
    I do agree with removing the old vinyl.
    My choice would be vinyl plank flooring that snaps together. I didn't use it in the RV yet but, I put some in the S&B. Very easy to install and holds up well. Plus it looks good.
  • My biggest concern with the peel and stick would be temperature changes. If the floor and the sticky vinyl do not expand and contract at the same speed you could end up with gaps or lifting sheets. I would lean towards the click together vinyl that floats. Leave space along the edges and cover that space with shoe molding.
  • We put down something very similar from Lumber Liquidators in our toyhauler. We put it down over the rubber flooring and it works very well. I'm sure if the old flooring isn't pulling up or peeling you'd be fine.

    Here's what ours looks like:
