That quote is indeed absurd. I put vinyl plank in mine, but needed to recarpet the Drivers area, doghouse, and a few areas around the bed in the rear bedroom. I bought a commercial grade level loop carpet and hired a guy who does a lot of RV work. The whole thing was under $400, $175 for 12x12' piece of material, and $150 cash, for 3-4 hours of his time.
