champ_49 Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 My question is simple I think, but not a simple solution that I can see. I have a 5th wheel that I want to put vinyl flooring in place of the carpet. What do you do about the transition from the slide to the main floor. Right now there is a carpet that basically hides that transition. That's not going to happen with vinyl. Interested in what others do about this?

nana25k Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 When we installed hard wood in our previous rig we removed the slide carpet in one piece, took it to a small carpet company. They duplicated it, bound it and we reinstalled. Looked great and it retained that "flap" to cover the transition Ron & LindaClass of 20072000 Monaco Diplomat 2005 Honda Element"Do what you can, with what you have, where you are" Theodore Roosevelt"We can't control the wind, but we can adjust our sail""When man gave up his freedom to roam the earth, he gave up his soul for a conditioned ego that is bound by time and the fear of losing its attachments."

champ_49 Posted February 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 Thanks for the replies and although I looked at that video KRum I really didn't care for the transition they did myself.

GR "Scott" Cundiff Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 We left the slide carpet and only replaced the carpet on the main floor with vinyl. However, I read somewhere about using a garage door "skirt" to cover the transition. Since we're satisfied with what we did I never looked into it farther.
