Hi Ernie. I just joined the forum today to ask a question, but first some background:
I have a 38' 1993 Rexhall Aerbus (no slides). When Rex built this bus, he laid the carpeting down on the entire subfloor, except in the kitchen, prior to installing any of the interior walls, cabinets, etc.
I am planning on replacing the old carpeting with the Allure vinyl tiles from HD (floating floor), even though the manufacturer says that install in an RV will void the warranty.
I have read several posts in the different forums from other RVer's who have installed this product in their RV's without issue-one of these was even in a pop-up trailer and the owners are very pleased with the results.
(On a side note, Whirlpool won't warranty my new residential fridge either, but that didn't stop me from upgrading.)
I am thinking I'll just cut the carpeting at the base of all walls & cabinets and then use 1/4 round to trim it out. Of course I'll remove all the furniture first.
Here are my questions:
Will leaving the existing carpeting underneath the walls and built-in cabinets cause any unforeseen future issues?
Any insight is appreciated.
Mike
