The original carpeted floor I had looked real nice and comfortable but not practical, especially for cleaning.
After many years of use I decided to rip it out and replace it with something more durable.
I removed the carpet from the living area up to the driver and passenger seats.
The galley area up to the ceramic tile I also removed one row of the ceramics
I started the installation of the allure planks from the rear of the passenger seat, around the stairwell and all the way to the back into the dining area.
The stairwell edges came out real nice with the aluminum angle line.
I used the same product to make the transition between the carpet and the allure behind the driver and passenger seats.
The strip of carpet left in front of the sofa is part of the slide so I left it so that it covers the 1 inch step.
The stairwell was also left with the original carpet on the sides since it was in good condition and this area is not very well insulated like the floor inside.
Under the step there's a battery for the engine start.
The transition between the allure and the ceramic tiles in the kitchen area is the same aluminum trim used on the front cockpit area.
And the wood trim below the counter and walls dressed up the edge of the allure.
Walking toward the bath area the floor is all ceramic including the private bath before the bedroom.
Across from the private bathroom is the sink and shower, there's a sliding door that gives plenty of privacy between the kitchen and the bath.
There's a transition between the bath area and the bedroom which also has 2 sliding doors that gives the privacy between the bath and the bedroom.
Where the allure is now in the bedroom it was all carpeted before. The allure is all around the bed slide out.
This is way easier to clean now.
I use an allure polish every time we come back from a trip and no more cleaning carpet all day.
I would advice the manufacturers to build them this way.
The Planks are vinyl all the way through. 36" x 4".
The surface looks like real wood and feels like real wood.
It can get wet and not worry.
Lay down each plank into each other and the adhesive bonds them together.
Staggering them a foot or so apart really makes them look good.
