I purchased a 2001 Holiday Rambler Endeavor 35PBD a week and a half ago, not quite on a whim, but definitely on short notice. It's my first RV (go big or go home, right?) and it seems to be in good condition for the age. My boss and close friend owns a 42ft MH that I've been around and dealing with for a few years, so I've been learning quite a bit from him. I suspect this one was left sitting for a bit before it was sold, but so far there haven't seemed to be any major issues. That is, until it practically monsooned for 2 days because of the hurricane.
Turns out, there's a leak in the bedroom slide and most of the hallway area is completely soaked. I didn't like the worn carpet to begin with, but this is definitely going to push my hand to replace it!
I'm fairly handy and I've done quite a bit of research on here and elsewhere for flooring replacements. It appears as though many DIYer's use a floating vinyl tile (Allure, etc) or Pergo. They seem like they would work well, but I have a couple of questions I hope someone can help me with:
1. Since I'd be replace carpet under 2 slides that seem to be of 2 different types (the living room drops down to 'level' and I only see dark marks at the end of the slides), I'm assuming people haven't had too much trouble with height difference? Should I put a 1/4" sheet down before the new flooring?
2. How does vinyl hold up to dog nails? I have a 50lb Chow mix that will go from standing to laying by letting all her paws slide out. Drives me nuts!
3. Are there any other types of flooring I should consider?
I've got a lot of things to do in here to make it my own and bring it into modern times, but it seems to have good bones, I'm excited! Thanks for your help in advance.
