Flooring

[Buster52]

I would like to remove the carpeted areas of my Trailer and replace it with something easy to sweep. I have looked at self sticking tile but like the wood looking Laminates. Has anyone used the Laminates to replace carpeting? How do you keep it in place? In a house you just lay it down but an RV moves. Also now durable is it? Thanks

I used Allure brand from Home Depot in my class C. Only thing holding it down is the trim around the edge. Easy to clean.

Looks good. I have a box left over from doing my son's room. I wonder if it'd be enough for a 20 foot trailer.

BIL put down laminate, but when he had a leak it swelled and warped. Even after it had dried not all of it went back to original size and shape.

We tore up the off white carpet in our fiver last summer and put down vinyl plank flooring. There are two different types to look at. The first has glue strips that glue together and is a floating floor. The second is what we put down and that is click together vinyl. It is also a floating floor. The vinyl is mold resistant, easy to clean and best of all is easy to put down. I used a razor knife and a straight edge for the installation. We got ours at Home Depot. Will check tomorrow how it lasted the winter with the temp changes. The colour we chose looks like reclaimed barn board, so it also hides any crumbs ot dirt until you have a chance to get out the broom.

Laminate plank floor installed on top of rubber underlayment. Floor is floating in same place for the last five years. It's easy to keep clean.
