Re: carpet replacement
there's no real tricks to this, i used to do this on the side, cutting the carpet out is the 1st step and this requires a lot of good quality razor blade, a straight edge and time. Most all rvs are built with the carpet under all cabinets and furniture so just pulling it up and out like a home is usually not possible. Once you have removed it the best flooring to use is the "floating" type of laminate, this will keep it from buckling. The thing to watch for is you are raising the floor height which may impede doors, either cabinet or interior from closing or opening properly. The other big thing to pay attention to is most all rv's are not even close to "square" anywhere in the interior so measuring every cut and sometime to make some card paper templates can save you from wasting expensive flooring on messed up cuts. Thats about it, good luck and be sure to buy some good quality knee pads.
