Tips for Installing New Flooring in RV with a Slide | S2:E10

In this video I discuss some different tips about installing new flooring in your RV, particularly, those with slides. I see a lot of videos and articles about people installing vinyl/laminate plank flooring in RVs and while they look great, they have some issues that need to be addressed.

Use carpet glue when installing it will grip the wood and the tile. Works miracles and acts as a installation

Laminate can also add extra weight, something I don’t need .

I wish I would have seen this video prior to replacing our RV floor. Your description of the issues is exactly right. The pieces of carpet for the slide out is a great idea.

Appreciate your after installation review, including valuable information for practical normal use. To me it’s more important than just showing how to install.

We used lay flat sheet vinyl. It’s awesome stuff. No glue required.

Thank you very much. Very informative as I didn’t know about the slides rubbing. It makes sense because on ours the carpet wraps around and under the slide. This would make sense being the buffer or glide for the surface.

Great thoughts on problems with the slide-outs, very simple and clever solution. This video is a KEEPER! Thanks.

I saw the same video with the scratch. Ugh! No place safe to lay out sheet vynil where I am parked. Mostly gravel. I am going to look into GLUING the planks. Not peel n stick. But interlock LVP w/ glue. We'll see which direction my research leads. I live full time in my RV. Parked in the same spot for 3 years. Wish me luck.

As to the vinyl plank over hang we cut a 3” piece of planking and put it under the over hang for travelling and storage. I supports the vinyl and protects it from stepping in it and causing damage. When using Rv, the flooring piece it sits in storage compartment until needed again.

Thats brilliant to make a template with paper

I have been looking for a video for the rolled vinyl flooring install, and here it is! I appreciate the detail in the process. I would've never thought of a template first.

This video was a relief to watch I have been struggling with ideas for it sliding in and out and damaging the floors. This is perfect.

[@therobinsonscrusoe8581]

Thanks for the video! Very helpful! We are going to replace our RV flooring and I love all of your tips!

The paper template thing, dude. You saved my ass! Was going to do laminate. Nope! 👍

[@evelissro]

Thanks for sharing your ideas! I am trying to help my husband for diy projects while he works outside. God bless you!

Thank you for making and posting this video. I agree, there are way too many issues to deal with in regards to it staying down and separating at the seams. I saw RV Tito did his with no glue and it’s a vinyl planks that lock together. But I like your feedback and wisdoms. I pulled up my carpet thinking there would be final all the way but not, it went about 8 inches past a vent so the last 3 feet of my RV is plain particle boArd so I need to take out the old and put in a new one that covers the entire floor. And I am also with you on the slide out and the transition of the slide.
