Carpet Replacement

[blkdodge]

I'm sure a lot of folks have replaced carpet in their rigs, I wondering how one would go about doing this and making look correct. What I mean is we have several cabinets, dresser and nightstand that all have carpet inside. All the carpet was laid then cabinets were installed. DW wants new carpet but I don't want a hack job done.
Any thought? we are FT so I know this is going to be a PITA.

Shoot, even us old cowpokes have tile in the entry:

I changed the carpet in a 36ft Motorhome, I took the couch out, stripped all the old carpet out, bought the carpet and then hired a carpet installer on the side to install it, he charged me $200 and it looked great. I left the carpet in the cupboards and under the bed but he did all around the bed.

We replaced our carpeting with the Allure vinyl that glue together. I used contact cement every soften to make sure that the seams would not come apart in the cold.

I replaced my carpet with allure vinyl - left the carpet in closets - looks fine.

Unless you're handy with carpet and know how to stretch it, etc, it might be time to call in a pro. Most folks are ditching the carpet and going with laminate anyway.
