THIS is the Best Way to Renovate Your Pop Up Camper's FLOORING | The Highwall Remodel Pt. 2

This is the second video of the renovation of our 2008 Jayco Select 12HW. In this video we completely re-do the flooring in our pop up camper with a backed click-together vinyl plank flooring, which is “winding brook” made by Trafficmaster. We then trimmed out the vinyl plank flooring utilizing a 1/2” PVC quarter-round trim, which is water-proof just like the vinyl plank flooring and great for in the camper. Along with the vinyl plank flooring, we re-carpeted the two steps leading up to our bunks, which cover the cables in the roof lift system. For this renovation, we used a touch over two boxes of vinyl plank flooring. If I recall correctly, it was approximately 35 planks and 16 came (24 sq. Ft.) in each box. As a result, we added approximately 75lbs of additional dry weight to our pop up camper. We like utilizing the vinyl plank flooring because the temperature range it states it can withstand are greater than that of peel and stick flooring. With regard to the PVC trim, we utilized a total of four 8’ lengths of trim. Finally, we finished out the trim with a latex caulk, which is paintable if need be, to cover some of the gaps and brad nail holes. Speaking of brad nails, we attached the PVC trim with 1 1/2” 18ga brad nails. I think you could get away with 1” or 1 1/4” brad nails as well.

Nice looks great. I have the same jayco just a little older. Previous owners replaced floors but wife and I hate them. Wife wants to hold off maybe this video will encorage her to let me replace it already. Lol

[@ItsPoppin]

What did the previous owners put in?

[@justlou4593]

@@ItsPoppin peel and stick vinyl but it hasnt held up well at all especially in the south florida heat. Also has quite a bit of wear and it was my understanding it only had one year of use so not impressed by it.

[@dvadams41]

I love your channel, we just bought a 2018 Rockwood premier last month and looking to go on our first trip this thanksgiving. I like how you break down your mods and also showing your mistakes along the way ( that makes it real ) all of your videos are awesome, keep them flowing!!!!

[@michaelclld]

I just bought my first popup, a 1997 Palomino. I have a lot to learn and dont know anything about cnapers but for 500 i couod t pass it up! I definitely want new flooring

[@jte65]

Looks great. Thanks for sharing and the ideas. Keep the content coming..

[@suzi7715]

Hey guys, our last tent trip for summer 21 is winding down, we have a Kodiak Flex Bow and it's served us Very Well but over the last week we decided we're getting a pop up for summer 22. I found your channel and as a pop up newb your channel is an encyclopedia of knowledge!! I'm sure I'll be referring to it a lot as we start our new journey! Thanks for producing such informative content!! I'm sure my phone will be sitting next to me with your channel on for guidance as I get my hands dirty once we find our perfect trailer. All the best!! 😀 ⛺🙂

[@joannelawless5011]

Love your videos

[@wakingpuma]

Looks great guys! Good job!

[@ItsPoppin]

Thanks!

[@KRT045]

Awesome, I have been wondering about this! With the camper spending most of it’s days in Phoenix and extreme heat, glue backed flooring is not an option. I as well was worried about clearance issues. Thanks for the video!!

[@jessegarcia9321]

Nice shirts!!

[@ItsPoppin]

Thanks!

[@wesleyporter2121]

That looked awesome finishing off with the quarter round and cock was perfect I put carpet in our pop up I just cut a piece out the same shapes and dimensions as the floor and laid it down like a giant rug so when it gets old and raggedy I just take the carpet out trace it on another piece of carpet and put a new one in I don't know if you have any carpet videos for pop-ups 😆

[@ItsPoppin]

No, that wouldn't hold up too well with the dogs.

[@wesleyporter2121]

Yeah you're right about that fortunately my kids are all grown and we have no pets so it's just my wife and I

[@troystunner]

With extreme temperatures, how has this type of flooring held up? I see a divided community of campers on this.

[@stevenrogers4832]

Looks great. We are going to tackle the flooring this winter, so says Wife. I have got to quit letting her watch your videos with me. I like your explanations of the cuts that were required. Where did you get the flooring, and what was the name of it, if you do not mind shareing? Thanks again for all that you share with our popup Family. As always, Bless you and yours, and our popup Family. Hope to see you out there.

[@ItsPoppin]

We got it at Home Depot. The color is called winding brook and it's make by trafficmaster.

[@LIVE4THEADVENTURE]

Great video!! It’s been 1 year since you did your floor and I would like to know how it’s holding up? And issue and if so, do you have any fixes for it? Thanks for any information!!

[@joannelawless5011]

Do you have any suggestions on a sagging canvas above the beds.

[@lildudematt05]

Love the videos! The music audio jumps up and down from really loud to super quite. I assume you are using imovie, and that's why.

[@nycr6biker796]

I’m very new to RV’ing and trying to absorb all info I can and your Chanel has been vital in my search for info on pop ups. I was wondering if you you could do a video on your tow vehicle as it looks like you use a small suv. Even if you could just let us know the make and model would be cool. Thanks.

[@ItsPoppin]

It's a Honda Pilot AWD with the max tow package

@@ItsPoppin can you please tell what drill you use ? I think it’s red !!

So its been 2 years. How is your flooring holding up? If you had it to do over, what would you do different? I am getting ready to do the floor on my 2003 Rockwood. If i pull the old linoleum up, it has some holes, do i need a moisture barrier? Any thought or ideas appreciated. I enjoy all your vids. Very informative. Hope all is well with you.

[@ItsPoppin]

We just saw this camper a coupler of weeks ago and the floor is still doing well. I don’t think I’d worry about a moisture barrier in a pop up.

[@nananjdz]

We are getting ready to sell our 2007 Fleetwood pop up trailer. We need to fix the vinyl window because it tore away from the zipper. How is the best way to repair it?

[@seankennedy1181]

Hi how does it stay down on the ground?

[@stever6986]

Any specific reason for using quarter round and caulking vs. just leaving a minimal gap (i.e. flooring flush to the cabinets) and caulking the gap?

[@1324jm]

I just finished installing similar flooring in my sunroom. We have to leave a 1/4 gap between the edge of the flooring and the cabinets because temperature changes cause the flooring to shrink and expand. There's a risk that your flooring would buckle if the flooring is flush with the cabinets. Conversely, if you installed it flush in 100+ degree heat, the flooring would shrink in cooler temps and pull the caulk apart. I wouldn't caulk between the quarter round and the floor, but would caulk the 1/4 round to the cabinet. You probably already got your answer, but in case not I hope this helps.

[@abelromero4373]

Why add additional weight

[@dudescamping]

What is the reason for leaving the vinyl underneath the new flooring?

[@mynameisphunk]

Much bigger project to remove all the cabinets etc which go over the original floor.

[@vlnplyr5]

Any chance you're selling those shirts? Or can you tell me where you got them?

[@ItsPoppin]

We put a link in the description. Let us know what you think!

[@josh80794]

Where do you buy your pop up camper parts?

[@ItsPoppin]

Depends on the part we're looking for.
