DIY RV Renovation | Installing Vinyl Plank Flooring | Our DIY Camper 2 | The DIY Mommy

How many square feet of flooring did you need to replace the flooring of the camper?:)

The flooring looks so good! Question-it looks like you put the flooring right on top of existing linoleum, did you have any issues with the slight height difference between that section and the bare floors? Thanks!

I too am glad I saw this video. I had a leak on my pull out which I didn't realize was there until I pulled the rug up but I was wondering what to do to cover the edge of the pullout. I only have one critical issue. When you were using the saw for trimming you were wearing clothes that were loose fitting. Not a good look around machinery that can pull you in. That is how farm accidents happen. Coveralls are the way to go.

A few staples? How lucky you were! Our Keystone Cougar had a gazillion. Once we removed the carpet we discovered a serious corner leak on one end of the slide that had developed mold. After treating it, the base floor still seemed firm and did not need replacing, thankfully. That is why RV's should NOT be carpeted. We replaced the main floor area with the recommended underlayment and vinyl planks in, the same color as you used, and loved the new, clean look, intending to the finish the bedroom later. Then the really sad part came: After only 9 months, the planks began buckling and splitting in four different places. We've spent the year in an Ohio winter, but kept our rig warm with heat lamps below, a sturdy skirt, and dehumidifier to minimize moisture. And we haven't been in motion. Now we're going to remove the planks and try vinyl stick & peel tiles. Good luck with yours. Wonder if anyone else experienced a similar problem?

Hi, I am looking at putting down some planks as well, do you know how much weight you ended up adding to the RV with this flooring, and how well is it all holding up over a year and a half ago. Do you travel with your RV or is it stationary. Thank you for posting the video it looks great

I have done this for a living. You did a good job. Lots of nice detail attention. You should be proud of yourself.

The flooring looks amazing, what a difference.

Love it!

Did you "prime" the floor first or just use the construction glue instead? Hows it holding up? We are fixing to do this in our living room/kitchen w 2 slides and master with slide. The other places have vinyl flooring from manufacturer and we will replace later but for now these 2 areas will be replaced.

I have a suggestion for you on the safety front. You really shouldn’t wear loose fitting, extra material hanging, shawl thing while your operating machinery. If for some reason you leaned over to look at something that you’re cutting, that hanging amount of material could get caught in the spinning blade and pull you into it. You don’t want to do a follow up video on that.

It appears you simply layered the new LVP over the the old vinyl flooring. Was there a reason for not removing the old vinyl when you removed the carpet? Did your installation over the old flooring leave a noticeable bump in the floor? How well did the adhesive stick to the old floor?

Thank you! Doing my floor today.

Not sure if you will respond to this, but would like an update on how it has help up, especial the transition piece on the slid.

Fantastic!!! Absolutely gorgeous

Thanks give me an idea was planning to redo our rv floor and paint it to your video will help me for sure

How is the flooring holding up? Would you do anything different?

I noticed you put down the new vinyl over the old flooring. Did you have any issues with that? I'm considering doing the same.

I realize this is not a new video, but I wanted to ask you Christina, were you worried at all about the floor getting damaged from the slide coming in? I would love to do this in our camper, but am afraid of the slide out damaging new flooring.
We have linoleum flooring, but there is this strip of carpet right at the front of the slide out, I've seen so many people take that out and seemingly it didn't hurt anything, or change the way the slide out works.
I would love to take that out, there is carpet in the slide out and just that strip in front of it, the previous owners had 3 dogs, as you can imagine what the carpet looks like. :O/
I love your videos!! You do beautiful work!!

Where can I find the link to the flooring?

Hello the floor looks great. The link foor the flooring does not work now but maybe you can answer a couple of questions. Was this a click type flooring? Do you know if it was SPC or WPC?

Good Morning. How has the new floor doing now. Any thing that you would do differentley. Jack

Floor looks great but why would you paint those beautiful wood cabinets

How much did you spend on the floor?

Nice work. Looks great. I’m curious if you have had any problems with the flooring buckling or joints opening up as it expands and contracts due the the wide range of temperatures it has to endure.

Glue is a mistake.

I bought these exact floors. I can’t tell, did yours have groove that you are supposed to lock each one into place? The directions say to do that, but I didn’t notice you doing it. Wondered if you just skipped that? Thanks!

oooo… SEAHORSES!!!

How has this held up over time??

Any issues with the LVP with regards to the joints coming apart while the RV is in motion? I'm just afraid that the flexing will cause issues.

Have you had any issues from gluing the vinyl plank down? In a regular house, LVP is supposed to "float" to allow for thermal expansion/contraction, but in a camper getting pulled down the highway a free-floating floor might not work out so well, so gluing down makes sense. Just curious how it's worked out over these last several years.

Looks super

3 years after this was origially posted I am wondering how the vinyl flooring held up? Vinyl and laminate flooring expands with warmer temperatures and contracts with colder temps. Its not really designed to be glued down, but to be a floating floor allowing the expansion and contraction. So just wondering how its held up?

I find it much easier to pull out carpet with plier over your hands. Great video, helped my wife and I plan our update.

How has the flooring held up once the weight from the dinette has been on it? I saw someone else’s video where the rollers/slides underneath damaged their flooring. Thank you!!

How well has the flooring held up in your camper?

How did you put the flooring under the lip of the slide out?

Did you ever have any problems with overhanging your lvp on that slide? Can you walk on the edge and hold up well? I want to do this in my camper, and want to see if there was anything you wish you did differently?

Love it!!!!

All the money I’m going to save!!! Thnks girl

@The DIY Mommy WOW! Absolutely amazing. You are quite a remarkable mommy. You did this all by yourself? Where was the good for nothing husband of yours? LOL. You did a better than a great job. I have a 2019 travel trailer and I think its time to change my flooring in my trailer. So I'm just starting the process in getting some ideas. I want to thank you for posting your video. Gave me some great idea. From The Crappy State of California...... Rick.

Did you have water damage along the wall and corners

The stairs remind me of when people ask about painting a bathroom, kitchen or closet. I tell them i would rather paint an entire bedroom. They don't understand until i tell them why

Slides are ment to glide on carpet or you will get marks on your floor over time

I really don't think you should have or really need to glue them down. That's a pretty destructive edit you just did there. Don't they already have a sticky back?

Your vids are the best

Why use PL construction glue instead of flooring glue ?
