WINTER TIME BLUES .....

We ripped out the carpet in our old 2003 Cougar and installed Traffic Master Allure self-floating snap together flooring. It is water resistant. We loved it as it gave a warm interior and also a LOT easier to keep clean. Just a warning, if you pull out the old carpet, wear a gas mask and don't let you stomach get to upside down. Pulling the carpet out has to rank up there with one of the nastiest jobs I have undertaken. The carpet looked great on top but underneath, OMG, I thought my DW was going to gag herself to death. My wife is a stickler for "Clean" and when she witnessed this, the next thing I know, all the carpet was gone in our "brick and mortar"! Nasty!

TRY that in a house where you are replacing it with hardwoods. MY wife and I tore it out and it had been down for over 15 years. MY Goodness!!!!
I hope if we ever take it of the 5er it won't be that bad..
thanks

We put in a high end 12 mil AC4 commercial laminate JOINTS ALL GLUED,love it.

IMO the need/want for new tires and/or surface flooring isn't a good reason to buy a new RV. "I just want a new RV" is however.

Replaced part of the carpet with laminate interlocking flooring. Looks real good so far, no problems, survived a trip to the keys with two dogs. Very glad I did, unit is a 2005 and carpet was looking rough.
