Replacing carpet with tile

[PAylor]

Hi,

We have tile in our entire fifth wheel except on one of the living room slides.  

We also have a senior dog who is deaf and has a bit of doggie dementia.  We are loosing the battle of preserving the carpet (of course that's the only place he likes to pee!).  We want to replace the carpet with tile.  We have done research, found a few Youtube videos and think it's a project we can tackle.  

We'd love to hear from anyone who have done it. I also have concerns about anchoring the recliner stadium seating on that side (hubby says he's got a plan but I'm dubious).

Any input is appreciated.  Thanks in advance!

We had carpet in the LR and the bedroom. We tore both out, also the bathroom tile so that it would be all the same. The carpet was easy to remove but the tile in the bathroom was hard. We had to use a hair dryer to soften it up and use putty knives. We bought 16 x 16 vinyl tiles from Home Depot. Luckily, we were able to use the previous lines in the bathroom so that the tile was laid straight. It was hard on the knees but easy to do. We have never done anything like that. This pic was taken before the trim edge was installed.

When I do ours next summer I'm going to use laminate floors planks. The slide in the living area will remain carpet, I haven't figutred out a way to end the flooring in the slide were it meets the main floor but still thinking about it.

WE had it done on our last motorhome and had to have rollers on the slide to keep from scratching the floor.
