The bf and I have been working to trim out my new trailer's dressing room. We started with insulating the floor and laying vinyl (https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10100256763072147&set=gm.757996500894500&type=1&theater) and have the insulation and plywood installed in the gooseneck and up wall. I tried wrassling the carpet so it'd be one piece for the vertical wall and neck, but gave in and made a cut where the two surfaces meet. The carpet on the up wall is installed and has storage benches now mounted in front (also in need of finishing and trim). I'm struggling to get the carpet in the neck just right.Any installation tips, or ideas for trimming it out nicely? I'd like a nice option to trim the 90* angle where the two carpet pieces will meet.

carpet is not a good surface - from past experience - it's difficult to keep clean, etc  VCT is much easier to keep clean and will look great for a long time.

I'm only doing the carpet for the vertical wall and in the neck (under the mattress). The floor itself is vinyl. Thanks for the VCT suggestion.

I've got the DIY site bookmarked, thanks!
