Seajay- what type and brand hardwood did you use?
I seriously do not know. I had a guy down in South Carolina, near Columbia do it for us. The old carpet looked like crap after ten years of being cleaned and three dogs running free in the coach. When it was done it looked wonderful but it did not take too long and it started to show traffic. The water really screwed it up.
The flooring is a laminate type about half an inch thick. It has an oak vanear on top and I guess the rest is popular or some base wood. It is tongue and grove and I do not know if it is glued down or simply ''floating'' on the floor. I can not remember the name of the company that done the work but it look really good when he got done. I believe he said it could be sanded and refinished but I am not sure about it. Willa said she still had the bill of sale in our files at home. I considered trying to cut out the bad pieces and replace them but the ''new'' stuff would stick out like a sour thumb.
To me..... Motor homes should have a ''serviceable'' floor that can take spills ,,, dogs,, foot traffic, dirt, sand, and water because they will get a lot of traffic in a reasonably small area and because most of us have no porch or mud room to enter before we hit the main floor. The carpets look wonderful but in a ''used'' motor home like ours, they are impractical as I see it. Our coach is ''used'' a lot. It has over 115 thousand miles on the clock and is still running strong.
As to the floor, I can post pix if you like or send them directly to you if you have an ''idea'' as to how to fix them please. I shall also be glad to pay you ten cents for any ideas concerning this. I will give you the ten cents the next time I see you or I will simply e mail it to you, which ever is better for you....
Mind you ,,,,,,,, all this is just my opinion and I could be wrong....cj....
Ok Uncle Sam...... Time to bring our troops back home for a big parade
