New Flooring in 5er!

We recently purchased new flooring for the 5er. Chris removed the carpet and vinyl from the living room/kitchen area that the 5er came with.
Luckily, the plywood underneath looked good!
Chris put down the Trafficmaster Dimensions resilient flooring. It's his new favorite flooring to install! It cuts scores and snaps easily with a utility knife. The black strip on the edge is sticky... for the next plank to stick to. Once down it is pretty darn waterproof. It is a floating floor, not adhering to the plywood. The carpet section over the dinette/couch slide and the kitchen slide was left down. Slides operate beautifully.

Here's a picture of the flooring down! The carpet runner in the middle is covering the heating vent in the middle of the floor :-). We still have a bit to do on the stairs going up to the bedroom. We will floor up past the bathroom entrance. It is a side bathroom off the hall and we will leave carpet in the bedroom.

Hope you enjoy the project pictures!

  2. Looks good, CC. A lot more practical with doggies that don't wipe their feet.

  4. It looks great, it helps to be a "handy kinda guy" which I am not.

  5. The new flooring didn't raise the level and create a problem with the slide out/in?
