Sorry I couldn’t copy and paste photo. ……..They work great.

Excellent video, thank you so much for taking the time and effort to post it. Very helpful and full of important tips!

Thank you for the video we are in a major renovation project just like this.

Do you have to rip the linoleum out?

Great video. What are the floor vents for?

I do this sort of thing for a living, and you guys did SOOOOOOOO many things well on your project. You even nailed the radius around the shower and toilet! Thumbs up from me! :)

Hello, I compliment you on looking at various options to the flooring such as laying down a plank of plywood and so on... Great details you spoke of. I wasn't aware of such a flooring such as stick and glue as you used. All the best!

Great work, and tips

So after 4 years do you still like the floor. Does it last good.

I've been wanting new flooring but unsure of how to do it, Thanks!

I was a contractor for years and removed a lot of carpet and staples, best tool I ever found to use were end nippers, you can grip and roll the staples out, also great for pulling small nails

Looks so much better! How is it holding up? I was thinking just put a thick piece felt with lots of glue over the screw. Please let me know what you eventually did. In the market for a fixer RV so can't wait. I'm getting as much knowledge as i can. Thank you

This was one the most well narrated how to videos. Thank you♡

Question, what kind of wood flooring is underneath the original carpet? and why wouldn't someone just stain that wood to get the wood flooring effect?

Thank, you for you're video

How come you didn’t just put throw rugs where the slides were scraping the floor so it could just slide on that

Good job! Slide ski's might be an option for protecting anyone's floor...who is facing this issue.

I'll hire you to do mine. 28 ft 5th wheel. Single 6 ft slide, not floor flush. I'm intimidated to do even that.

Why on earth they use carpets in rvs is beyond me.

Hello. Looks great. Question. Do you remember the make and model number of the flooring you used? Also, I understand Vinyl plank waterproof etc but did you folks consider a high end Laminate? I'm about to purchase the laminate but your video is making me think twice. Thank you

good Morning. How is the floor working out. Good Bad or what. Jack PS would you do it again.

You did a fantastic job

Unfortunately after time it will start to cave in. Just like an A/C register.

The way he said "yuck" he would have been so disgusted seeing what was under our RV carpet. Water damage and rotten wood. Ours is a 2006 though. Lol

Too much talking not enough doing

what page/website/ social media do you recommend for new RV owners?

Does your furniture slide around on travel days now that you don’t have carpet?

Nice job katlyn looks great. We have a DRV and this is our next project

Hi! When you push your slide back in, has it scratched your floors?

awesome video. I'm planning on doing the same to my new 15 year old trailer and this was so helpful. Extremely well done.

How are the floors now?

What about putting a felt disk on the screwhead, just as you eould on chairlegs?

Good lord you're gorgeous

You get rid of the lip with a belt sander

I love the dog. I wish I could sleep like that!

Love the floor, and tips. Great job

done so wrong. You have to support that. Cant tiptoe around a spot like that.

on your corner piece use double side tape to hold it against your trim and not let it loose

❤❤❤ I just wanted to say thank you to you both. Quite honestly your videos have given me the confidence to take care of some of the things I had to do. I went ahead and got the composting toilet installed myself. Thanks to you I was able to do that. I was also able to fix my gray water tank- that scared me horrendously. Now I'm officially scared because I have to reframe my rear wall. I'm going to try and Salvage my floor. But it looks like it might have to come out. I did contact a leading technician from Thompson's RV and they told me that it's time to consider a new floor. So I'm watching your video and I'm biting my fingernails because I'm scared to do this, but I am going to attempt this. I just want to say thank you once again because your videos are giving me the confidence to make it through this and not pay millions of dollars on an older RV

Omg soooooooo many staples

You guys crushed it.. professional result.

Thank you 😊

I have always enjoyed your videos. So well done. I realize this is an old video but we are getting ready to tackle our floors. How has yours held up? So happy with that product?

Great info. Ty for sharing!!

excellent explanation....We will definitely invest in the grip strip. thank you for posting.

Love the soundtrack

Thanks so much for video.. trying to figure out what to do with out slide also.
