Linoleum in your RV...

[Wildcat Chris]

What are your preferences on linoleum in your RV?

Do you favor having linoleum everywhere (vs. carpeting)? Even in the bedroom?

Are you a fan of the "wood plank" vinyl flooring look? Or do you prefer the tile look?

[wrapperman]

We have the tile everywhere except the bedroom. I prefer carpet in the bedroom. It makes it feel warmer.

After 6 years of carpet in our last rig - we tore it all out and put Vinyl flooring in and it looked 1000% better... Used the planking look. Our rig had light blue carpet that looked great when we bought it, but after years of many weekends/vacations/sun fading it looked horrible.

Took our linoleum out in the living area and up in the bathroom bedroom area. Keep the carpet in the bedroom. Used laminate wood flooring.

Vinyl throughout. Much easier to keep clean.

We'll never have carpet.

Ours has carpet on the slides only. Our PDI guy said they haven't figured out a way to hide the slider-to-main-floor transition without using carpet yet.

We have the wood plank flooring linoleum everywhere else. LOVE it! A dust mop every day keeps it lookin' great, along with a damp mopping now and then. A couple that camps with us often has a different brand camper with the tile look flooring. I envy 'em.....as that looks *so* real, right down to tiny chips on the edge of each "tile". She hates it though, LOL, says it always looks dirty.

IMO, the less carpet the better. (It *had* to be a man that invented something you permanently attach to the floor, walk on it with shoes hundreds of times a day, spill stuff on it, and can't pick it up and throw it in the washer.) /snork

We recently ripped the carpeting in the main areas of our home and installed vinyl plank flooring in the LR and hallway....gradually doing that throughout the house...that stuff is indestructible!

PS: Seeing what's on the concrete beneath the carpet was a total shock!

No carpet. Anything but carpet. I am bad enough with dirt being tracked in on the linoleum, carpet would be a nightmare. I am happy with bath or washable throw rugs in spots like the doorway and at the sink.

We have vinyl in living and bath areas in our 2012 Coachmen Mirada MH. Carpet in the bedroom. Our vinyl is the tile look and looks ok. Kind of like the wood plank look better.
Any comments for any MH owners with real grouted tile? It seems to me it would take a lot of care to keep it looking nice/clean. Especially the white grout. Also I have seen some pretty shoddy grout jobs on a few MHs.

Just curious.

Carpet in the bedroom, vinyl everywhere else. Carpet on the slide makes the most sense there, we keep the plastic covering on it.

NO carpet! Too hard to keep clean. We have the "tile" vinyl, but I wish it was the wood plank, that's much prettier.

Batts toy, how do you cover the carpet with plastic? is it a temporary plastic that you tear up or is it more permanent?

Our TT is still new enough to still have the plastic on the carpet, we did not remove it. When it gets damaged or starts coming off I will be looking for a way to cover it again.

Linoleum.

BTW, here's a good deal on a refurb-ed Oreck vac that fits well in an RV in storage, and works great. We just got one.

Vinyl everywhere but just around the beds, bunks. We Tend not to wear shoes there anyway, stays relatively clean, and is cozy on the feet for everyone stepping out of bed.
The wood paneling pattern tends to be a more rich looking one. Similar to how dark cherry or black stain tends to make cabinets look more lush.

Our 1st TT had carpet everywhere. Hard to keep looking new. Second TT had vinyl except around the dinette and sofa and bedroom. Carpet still looked ok but took a lot of effort to keep clean. New TT has linoleum through out except by the dinette and sova (small strips) It's the wood plank type and looks great. Easy to keep clean, even with three dogs.

Just right:



Bedroom is carpet.

Sold out at that site, but I found (identical, refurbished) one on eBay! Thanks! I have been looking for a small sized vacuum for our RV... PERFECT!

All shoes stay outside, period. Even then carpet is hard to keep clean. Our old TT had "dusty rose" colored carpet (and furniture), that's how old it was.
The new one is being built, and has virtually no carpet in it.
My house has wood floors throughout both stories, so the tile look is a nice change of pace for me.

Due to lighting they look different, but it's the same covering throughout, of course. The bedroom photo shows the correct color.

I have minimal carpet in my Sunseeker 3170. I only have carpet on the computer desk, NOWHERE ELSE, not even the bedroom. I bought some throw rugs, and put down. works for me, easier to keep clean.

I have adopted a "no shoes" policy, works good.
