❤❤❤ I just wanted to say thank you to you both. Quite honestly your videos have given me the confidence to take care of some of the things I had to do. I went ahead and got the composting toilet installed myself. Thanks to you I was able to do that. I was also able to fix my gray water tank- that scared me horrendously. Now I'm officially scared because I have to reframe my rear wall. I'm going to try and Salvage my floor. But it looks like it might have to come out. I did contact a leading technician from Thompson's RV and they told me that it's time to consider a new floor. So I'm watching your video and I'm biting my fingernails because I'm scared to do this, but I am going to attempt this. I just want to say thank you once again because your videos are giving me the confidence to make it through this and not pay millions of dollars on an older RV

Hey all. We did exactly the same remodel, the same way with the slides. Our slide edges have been solid, and even overhang just a bit to cover the original metal strip. We use 1/2 cut small pool noodles to buffer the slide bottoms when we bring them in. Works really well. We have four 8 to 10” pieces on the main slide, and two for the smaller slide. Just put them in perpendicular with the slide and they’ll take the weight and still slide. Your project looks great! Nice work, and kudos on the timeline. That’s pretty aggressive! We also did the WeBoost installation (4G RV). That was fun too.

Did you guys have issues with the flooring separating a little bit? I have the exact same trailer and did the exact same floor this guys did. Unfortunately for some reason the planks like to come apart a bit even though we did the temperature acclimation and everything. Also my black part of the slide isn't straight? Haha

We’ve had Allure flooring in our bathroom for about two years. It still looks brand new. I do remember the directions saying not to caulk or seal the edges as it is a floating floor and could expand and contract even though it’s not wood. Caulking the edges could cause it to bow if it expands too much. We will doing something similar to our fifth wheel soon. It looks great.

We have the same flooring in our home. We had a screw from the plywood underneath come up and create a hill on one piece. We called allure and they said to take a sharp knife and cut the whole piece of plank out and then cut the glue ends off a new piece and put some tough as nail glue on the plywood and lay the piece of plank on it. Worked like a charm.

Outstanding video! Thank you so much for sharing. We have a quarter million dollar Diesel pusher with 3 slides. Being a retired police officer on a limited income, we opted for a nice pre-owned R.V that was a trade in, and we waited till November when the dealer's price dropped for New inventory. We paid just under 100K for a pristine unit. After 1 year of our dogs traveling and camping with us, the carpet cleaning became more than anyone could stand. To have 140 sq. ft. installed was $1500.00! We are doing the job ourselves, and needless to say, to do the job myself is scary. This video explains enough to where I can do this with confidence.

A few ideas for your next project: 1) Glued sheet vinyl... use a heat gun... comes right off 2) Staples... use 2 pairs of vice grips... grab the staple end with one, use the other to leverage, rather than pulling with muscles.... that'll tire you out!

Oh God, been there, done that! The staples were problematic but not impossible to remove during the reflooring of my 2004 Holiday Rambler Savoy. I went with 24” square carpet tiles by Mohawk and glued every one of them down. We did the slide-out as well and when extended, the tiles blend in together with almost no gap. And, we can walk on it with the slide out retracted. I was worried about the extra weight as well but doesn’t seem to be a problem. Thanks for sharing your experiences!

I know that this is a bit of hindsight, but, they make a material that is supposed to be able to '"repair", damaged wood like you have. You mix together 2 parts, and smear it into the damaged area, the more torn up the wood is, the better. I think they recommend overfilling the area, and then after it cures, level it out. It has something to do with how the product changes during the curing process. I think it shrinks a bit. I wish I had the name of the product. I saw it being used on an episode of, "This Old House", on some very difficult to reproduce elements of some exterior porch railing.

When pulling staples after remodeling 3 homes with carpeting, one of the most time-consuming parts of the process that many look over when planning for their projects is all of those staples...I've found that needle nose pliers are best instead of regular pliers. This process takes forever for everyone. To give you an idea, my father and I ripped up 3 rooms of carpeting to which we listened to the Hamilton soundtrack whilst completing. By the time we finished. Hamilton died 4 times.

We had a tear in our floor from a screw. Now we use a moving pad placed on the floor when it slides in to protect the floor. When the floor is extending back out we remove the pad so it doesn't get jammed into the slide gears. Give the pups a bone, they worked hard. :-) Nice job!

Did you change the "glide strip" under the flat floor slide out? They are a kind of plastic for carpeted flooring and a rug or felt type material for hard flooring. They carry some of the weight of the slide out room as it goes in ot out. The wrong type can gouge your floor. If yours is a system made by HWH Co, then this strip is the entire length of the room and is outside when the room is extended. Our hwh system has the glide strip over a support bar that is removed to get at the glide strip. To do that, the weight of the slide out must be supported by jacks snd blocking or dome way to get the stress off of the mechanism. You can also adjust the height of the room as it dlides in or out to give more clearance. We want to do tha sas me kind of job on our Winnie class A. Carpet isccx worn and after 15 years must come out. We thought about vinyl planks or grip lock like you used. Btw, I successfully used the grip strip flooring to finish off the ends and back of a cabinet that we used to make a peninsula in our home kitchen. I installed each plank vertically using small power brads to hold it in place until I got the moldings inatalled. After a month or so, the grip strip flooring kindbnb od bonded into place and seems to be staying put just fine after a year. Thsnks for your very helpful video. 😎

Thanks for your 6 yr old video; others may have mentioned this, but in regards to your screw scratch on the freshly installed flooring, and judging from the camera angle perspective, it actually looked like a typical flooring joint because of it's short straight run.

Flooring is very nice modern. Brings the unit up to date. Two things as side tips. One side cutters work way better for them staples. I have had to pull my fair share of staples out of rv carpeting lol. Not my favorite job. Second I saw some water damage at the front of the flush slide when the carpet was up. You might want to look into that at the front of the side, and that might have been the culprit to the rear as well. I have seen that a lot to. Smart idea sealing the floor edge before reinstalling the trim. You might want to thing it over and seal the trim edges in the bath, kitchen, and by the entry door to help protect them from water if their is a major spill, leak, or raining out side. I did this with my camper when we replaced the flooring because I figured it would be my luck something would happen. Lol happy camping, and safe travels.

Great job! I love vinyl plank flooring. It's almost impossible to discern it from real wood and the water resistance and wear qualities are excellent. I have a feeling that the area on the edge of the slide will eventually fail. If you find yourself repairing it in the futute, I would suggest getting a piece of 3/16" or 1/4"" steel, 3 or 4 inches wide and mounting it on the leading edge of the slide with countersunk flat head screws to support the edge of the flooring. You can fill in the rest of the slide area with a piece of underlayment. The added weight will be neglible and you should end up with years of use.

We started in just the kitchen and 4or5 years later we put it in the rest of the rooms and we could just take up the door way floor up and put down the new floor and it blended in very well so when you get the screw flat you can pull up the old one and put in a new one.

We just purchased our first RV and are about to replace the carpet with a floor identical to what you have. The scratch from the slide is a great heads up! Thanks. I wonder if something like thin sheet metal with a temporary adhesive spray would work to protect the floor when you move your slide in and out? We’re making a list of things to do and learn too. Like how to escape through the bedroom window in case of fire. Yikes! Practicing frequent drills seems like a good idea. Just subscribed. This video is exactly what we needed.

A word to others in colder climates. We did the same to our class c moterhome. Looked great first year. Stored for the winter here in Montana, went out in spring and all the seams had pulled apart even after rolling them. Not sure as to the reason, but was not pretty. After warming back up they did start to move back together but never did completly. Hopefully others have better luck than we did. It did look awsome to begin with.

Good advice, we have been below freezing and noticed the floor shrink a little, but the RV has always been heated.

I am in the process of updating our "new" coach as well. I have done the same as what you have, the "ALURE" flooring. I noticed at 9:50ish, the side of the slilde with the floor hanging down and not supported. Why not use the "super glue" on top of the plank to the bottom of the frame to have it not droop...? One thing I'm concerned about with my update with the flooring is, I did not pull up the linoleum. I placed the planks over it. (existing linoleum. Now I'm concerned about the added weight. Your thought??? @ 14:45ish, Very nice job on the circular cuts!! That was one of the toughest for me. My patience taken to the test! I personally removed the toilet finding it easier to do so, I just made a couple cuts for drainage, etc. and replace over the linoleum tile...just what I did. I have just come across your video tonight so I am going to have to see what else you've done to not make some mistakes by your advise however, so far I've re-stained the light oak cabinetry to dark maple with light accents on the trim, keeping it closer to the light oakish. I'm looking into replacing the interior lighting to something a bit more attractive than the original ugly things! Going to add a couple pendant lights in the kitchen and living, replace a couple of the wall sconces, etc. OH!!!! GOT RID OF THE BORDERS! Luckily the wall paper actually matches the theme we're going with with earth tones brown/tans oppose to the 'miami vice pastel blue theme!!! Looks like a nice coach and the pride as we have in our "new" 2006 Terry Quantum 330FKDS Extreme Weather model. Boy, the adventures to come with her.....I've certainly got to change out the AC eventually top get some air in the bed room. Good job and thanks for the video. Hope to see you out in the adventures one day!

Weight is a big concern. I think we added about 150 lbs. Removed it elsewhere tho. Good to keep on mind.

Great job. Carpet replacement is on the 'to do' list for our late 2007 Alpenlite 34RLR which is very similar in layout to your, looks to be, a MS 32TK3. The MS 32TK3 was on our final short list of models when we got to the shopping stage in 2006. Point taken on using the stick down linolium vs the click lock type flooring. Our carpet is in pretty rough shape after 12 years & something like 2000 nights on the road. Next year when it comes out of storage.

We just took out our carpet and went with the vinyl plank click and lock in our RV and we had some tricky spots too. Always the extra challenges when working in an RV, right?! We didn't have slide-outs to work with, but had other challenges. We didn't have to take out the vinyl with the click and lock, but so glad to see the carpet go! We didn't take the carpet out of the bedroom either. We LOVE our new floor! It's a lot of work but it's worth it, as you already know. Nice work! Enjoy!!

I hope your hanging flooring is holding up well...perhaps building a pieced insert to support the cantilevered edge for when it's pulled in/travel mode could be constructed. I can really see that over time that flimsy edge will 'go'... The overall look is gorgeous...and perhaps you could use a dremel tool to grind off that scratching screw head. You really did a top notch job!

I have to give you credit that is some really good flooring I put it in a lot of apartments and unlike carpet I don't have to tear it out every 6 months that is the way to go if you want something that's going to last and if it doesn't it's easy to replace

We just bought an 04 DRV and this is on the must do list. Did you guys ever do anything with the area around the bed? My wife has asthma and allergies so I need to do it before she spends any time in it. It’s also going to need all new furniture and paint. I have lots of questions for you guys lol I just found your channel and subscribed!

Looks amazing y'all! From how you're gesturing contacting the screw head under the slide, you may be able to use a flat file to shave the screw head. Additionally, I don't suggest using THD "wood putty", filler, etc., to fix the gouge in the vinyl flooring. Instead, use an epoxy putty stick from Mohawk in a suitable color. If necessary, different color sticks can be combined following the provided recipe card to achieve an exact color match. You'll use a plastic leveling card (no sanding) to flatten the repair, let harden, then apply any touch up color using a color pen from Mohawk. After that, you can leave the repair as-is, or top coat it with aerosol laquer of the appropriate sheen, using steel wool to rub out a matching sheen. Feel free to reach out if clarification or additional information is needed. This will provide you with a great looking, durable repair. Just be sure to file down that screw head first. Yikes! I can only imagine that you were just crushed when that happened.

On the corner of the slide that hanges down, it can either be nailed or glued to the wood frame of the slide if needed. A spacer could always be used if need be. Good job!

Thanks for the video. Very informative. So... it looks like it was posted two years ago. My question is how well it has held up, especially the thin overlap on the slide-out. We have a similar floor covering in our kitchen that has not held up in the time we have installed it. Makes me hesitant to put it in our RV. Now that it has been two years, would you do anything different? Thanks again!
