Also--was wondering what kind of flooring is in most folks' LQ trailers that came that way.  Vinyl tile?

Thanks again,

Mike

My trailer came with probably that same grey carpet. It was glued directly to the flooring of the trailer. I ripped it all up, laid down plywood, and got some of that vinyl sheet that looks like wood. It can be laid down without glueing, but I did use some contact cement.

Personally, I wouldn't use real ceramic tile for the weight and the cracking, plus cold floor. Laminate may work, but since I have it in my house I can tell you it can be slippery when it is wet.

I also have peel and stick in the house, and don't think it would last in a trailer, unless you keep it cool in there all the time.

We put vinyl flooring in ours.  Got a remnant from the floor store.

I prefer the vinyl over carpet for the ease of cleaning.  While at camp, I can sweep most of the dirt up.  Once we get home, a quick sponge mopping and it's done!  So much better than having to lug the vacuum out to the trailer.

As for the issue of cold floor on bare feet...a couple of small throw rugs takes care of that.  And they can be thrown into the washer.

We live in area with a lot of red clay mud.  Ever try to get those stains out of carpet??

RIDE ON!

We are in the process of switching trailers and ordering a new silverlite.   I ask about the pretty decorative tile over the sink area and they said no because it would crack with the movment of the trailer.   So I am sure the floor would be even worse!   I've had carpet with throw rugs in the past and now have all vinyl ....will never have carpet again!   I can sweep it out with a broom, mop it a little and no worries!      Guess the carpet looks nice in the showroom but not when you are out in the real world tracking in mud and "stuff"!

I have an '03 Silver Star and have camped in the trailer a few times without making any practical or decorative additions.  I'm planning a trip for the end of September and asked my hubby to do a little insulation work.  He started to try to remove the gray carpet from the bulkhead.  I don't know what they use for glue, but boy is it hard to remove.  He was trying to use a heat gun to soften it up and that was really smelly.  Could you just put a layer of plywood over the carpet and then lay a tile or vinyl floor?  The carpet would act a a cushion, wouldn't it?
