📹 DIY RV Reflooring with a Flush Slide-Out
DIY RV Reflooring with a Flush Slide Out – Reflooring our RV! We have a 2005 DRV Mobiles Suites. It has carpet and linoleum in …
We’ve had Allure flooring in our bathroom for about two years. It still looks brand new. I do remember the directions saying not to caulk or seal the edges as it is a floating floor and could expand and contract even though it’s not wood. Caulking the edges could cause it to bow if it expands too much. We will doing something similar to our fifth wheel soon. It looks great.
Hey all. We did exactly the same remodel, the same way with the slides. Our slide edges have been solid, and even overhang just a bit to cover the original metal strip. We use 1/2 cut small pool noodles to buffer the slide bottoms when we bring them in. Works really well. We have four 8 to 10″ pieces on the main slide, and two for the smaller slide. Just put them in perpendicular with the slide and they’ll take the weight and still slide. Your project looks great! Nice work, and kudos on the timeline. That’s pretty aggressive! We also did the WeBoost installation (4G RV). That was fun too.
Great job! I love vinyl plank flooring. It’s almost impossible to discern it from real wood and the water resistance and wear qualities are excellent. I have a feeling that the area on the edge of the slide will eventually fail. If you find yourself repairing it in the futute, I would suggest getting a piece of 3/16″ or 1/4″” steel, 3 or 4 inches wide and mounting it on the leading edge of the slide with countersunk flat head screws to support the edge of the flooring. You can fill in the rest of the slide area with a piece of underlayment. The added weight will be neglible and you should end up with years of use.
Flooring is very nice modern. Brings the unit up to date. Two things as side tips. One side cutters work way better for them staples. I have had to pull my fair share of staples out of rv carpeting lol. Not my favorite job. Second I saw some water damage at the front of the flush slide when the carpet was up. You might want to look into that at the front of the side, and that might have been the culprit to the rear as well. I have seen that a lot to. Smart idea sealing the floor edge before reinstalling the trim. You might want to thing it over and seal the trim edges in the bath, kitchen, and by the entry door to help protect them from water if their is a major spill, leak, or raining out side. I did this with my camper when we replaced the flooring because I figured it would be my luck something would happen. Lol happy camping, and safe travels.
Did you change the “glide strip” under the flat floor slide out? They are a kind of plastic for carpeted flooring and a rug or felt type material for hard flooring. They carry some of the weight of the slide out room as it goes in ot out. The wrong type can gouge your floor. If yours is a system made by HWH Co, then this strip is the entire length of the room and is outside when the room is extended. Our hwh system has the glide strip over a support bar that is removed to get at the glide strip. To do that, the weight of the slide out must be supported by jacks snd blocking or dome way to get the stress off of the mechanism. You can also adjust the height of the room as it dlides in or out to give more clearance. We want to do tha sas me kind of job on our Winnie class A. Carpet isccx worn and after 15 years must come out. We thought about vinyl planks or grip lock like you used. Btw, I successfully used the grip strip flooring to finish off the ends and back of a cabinet that we used to make a peninsula in our home kitchen. I installed each plank vertically using small power brads to hold it in place until I got the moldings inatalled. After a month or so, the grip strip flooring kindbnb od bonded into place and seems to be staying put just fine after a year. Thsnks for your very helpful article. 😎
We just purchased our first RV and are about to replace the carpet with a floor identical to what you have. The scratch from the slide is a great heads up! Thanks. I wonder if something like thin sheet metal with a temporary adhesive spray would work to protect the floor when you move your slide in and out? We’re making a list of things to do and learn too. Like how to escape through the bedroom window in case of fire. Yikes! Practicing frequent drills seems like a good idea. Just subscribed. This article is exactly what we needed.
This is amazing for the simple fact that we have the same RV and I hate the carpet but didn’t want to tackle it because of the slide! Still nervous but thinking real hard on this…will take longer for us though. Husband is only home 1 day a week and I’m no longer equipped with the ability of physical work… Love the new floor…I will find a way!
3 years too late for you all but for everybody else that’s about to do theirs I just have mine a 2020 forest river front living heritage Glen and and 3 of my slides leaked over this last storm in Texas. I’m in the process of doing all of the repairs myself myself there are only a handful of 4 to 5″ long screws that hold your island down super easy to remove and cutting your water lines You can use shark bite fittings to reconnect for $25… totally worth it
We also used the allure flooring to replace the carpet in our old Itasca with a slide. We to were disappointed with not only scratches, but also the stick together joints that began to separate. When I do our current coach, it will either be sheet flooring or something that can be removed and replaced where needed without pulling the whole floor.
You may want to try some strips of luan under the floor on your door side slide at the transition just to take that little bit of flex completely out of the equation. Very light and cuts with a sharp razor. The way it looks, you could probably slide it right under and use some wood glue to hold it in place. Looks great. Much better than carpet. Safe travels. Later.
Thanks for the article. Very informative. So… it looks like it was posted two years ago. My question is how well it has held up, especially the thin overlap on the slide-out. We have a similar floor covering in our kitchen that has not held up in the time we have installed it. Makes me hesitant to put it in our RV. Now that it has been two years, would you do anything different? Thanks again!
For labor cost reasons, almost all RV manufacturers lay the floor before installing all cabinets, appliances, and everything else and then cut-out where they need to put plumbing and wiring. We removed the bottom cabinets when putting down new flooring. I think it was quicker and easier than cutting around it. Our newest RV has tile with no carpeting.
Wow, you are amazing, I am getting ready to do the same thing. Your well thought out presentation helps me immensely. You have a talent for public speaking, I did have one question. Your dining room table looks like it is for two chairs and the table is a smaller than the normal ones – Where did you get it? Again. thank you. Best Regards Stan.
I know that this is a bit of hindsight, but, they make a material that is supposed to be able to ‘”repair”, damaged wood like you have. You mix together 2 parts, and smear it into the damaged area, the more torn up the wood is, the better. I think they recommend overfilling the area, and then after it cures, level it out. It has something to do with how the product changes during the curing process. I think it shrinks a bit. I wish I had the name of the product. I saw it being used on an episode of, “This Old House”, on some very difficult to reproduce elements of some exterior porch railing.
I am interested in how well your floor has held up during “normal” use. We have torn linoleum in our trailer and are looking for options on what else can be used. Another thing I liked was how you kept your cabinets in opposed to tearing it all out. Have you had any problems with water, or separation of the flooring from your cabinets / shower?
jealous, that carpet removal was a piece of cake compared to mine. my unit was built on top of the carpet and the slides were wrapped top and bottom with the carpet with a zillion staples. Cabinetry and even walls were built on top of the carpet. It took a ton of cutting and cutting and more cutting, then pulling, ripping and basically a nightmare, but I got it done. Almost impossible to get out from under the slides!!! pretty ridiculous really.
Thanks a lot. Really needed that at this moment. I’m bout to restore a whole camper. Looks great btw I would like to have one just like that again as I’m divorced, but ya nice job bro she’s freaking girl next door smoking hot and not afraid to get dirty and work. Wish she was the cookie cutter mood too bad she’s one in a million.
Nice job! Question – Are those replacement shades on the windows? I have a 2004 and it has the original shades. They are awful and falling apart. I’ve looked around online but I’m having a difficult time finding either the right sizes or custom sizes that don’t break the bank. Yours look great – clean lines. Thanks!
I’ve had this flooring for a couple of years now and I love it! you’re right though unsupported it will chip/break so figure out a way to support it if there is any chance it will be hit or stepped on in an unsupported area. No need to glue it down it doesn’t move and i’ve got it in both large and small areas 😀
Hello – we have a slide that buts up to our island – the plywood of the slide goes to about 1/4″ of the island so to have a piece of vinyl plank floor extend to cover the plastic ramp piece the slide comes over would require a good 1-1.5″ of over lap – it would hit our island I believe. Any suggestions? Or anyone on thread I’d love a suggestions – I think our slide is considered a flush slide. the ramp piece is also white which stinks if black would be less noticeable
If that plank on the slide ever breaks, you might be able to find a piece of solid wood or bamboo of the same thickness. Put it only on that one spot, then you won’t have to spend much. You could probably find a near match to the color. That way you wouldn’t have to worry so much about a break. The vinyl plank is quite brittle. I’m using the same stuff, but I don’t have a slide out.
When pulling staples after remodeling 3 homes with carpeting, one of the most time-consuming parts of the process that many look over when planning for their projects is all of those staples…I’ve found that needle nose pliers are best instead of regular pliers. This process takes forever for everyone. To give you an idea, my father and I ripped up 3 rooms of carpeting to which we listened to the Hamilton soundtrack whilst completing. By the time we finished. Hamilton died 4 times.
❤❤❤ I just wanted to say thank you to you both. Quite honestly your articles have given me the confidence to take care of some of the things I had to do. I went ahead and got the composting toilet installed myself. Thanks to you I was able to do that. I was also able to fix my gray water tank- that scared me horrendously. Now I’m officially scared because I have to reframe my rear wall. I’m going to try and Salvage my floor. But it looks like it might have to come out. I did contact a leading technician from Thompson’s RV and they told me that it’s time to consider a new floor. So I’m perusal your article and I’m biting my fingernails because I’m scared to do this, but I am going to attempt this. I just want to say thank you once again because your articles are giving me the confidence to make it through this and not pay millions of dollars on an older RV
I installed Allure flooring just like this and it is off gassing terribly. The manufacturer won’t do anything because they claim that the floor has no warranty being installed in an RV. The problem is not where it’s installed but that it off gasses no matter where it is.. Did you all have any problem with a strong odor from this floor?
We have the same flooring in our home. We had a screw from the plywood underneath come up and create a hill on one piece. We called allure and they said to take a sharp knife and cut the whole piece of plank out and then cut the glue ends off a new piece and put some tough as nail glue on the plywood and lay the piece of plank on it. Worked like a charm.
Oh God, been there, done that! The staples were problematic but not impossible to remove during the reflooring of my 2004 Holiday Rambler Savoy. I went with 24″ square carpet tiles by Mohawk and glued every one of them down. We did the slide-out as well and when extended, the tiles blend in together with almost no gap. And, we can walk on it with the slide out retracted. I was worried about the extra weight as well but doesn’t seem to be a problem. Thanks for sharing your experiences!
I don’t recommend Allure flooring. I put it down in my basement and had a small spill because of ac condensate pump broke. The allure flooring looked all wavy and never looked good again. Also, allure is made of very cheap material and dirt and grit will grind into it over time. Its not very durable. But the cost is low. My 2 pence.
I am in the process of updating our “new” coach as well. I have done the same as what you have, the “ALURE” flooring. I noticed at 9:50ish, the side of the slilde with the floor hanging down and not supported. Why not use the “super glue” on top of the plank to the bottom of the frame to have it not droop…? One thing I’m concerned about with my update with the flooring is, I did not pull up the linoleum. I placed the planks over it. (existing linoleum. Now I’m concerned about the added weight. Your thought??? @ 14:45ish, Very nice job on the circular cuts!! That was one of the toughest for me. My patience taken to the test! I personally removed the toilet finding it easier to do so, I just made a couple cuts for drainage, etc. and replace over the linoleum tile…just what I did. I have just come across your article tonight so I am going to have to see what else you’ve done to not make some mistakes by your advise however, so far I’ve re-stained the light oak cabinetry to dark maple with light accents on the trim, keeping it closer to the light oakish. I’m looking into replacing the interior lighting to something a bit more attractive than the original ugly things! Going to add a couple pendant lights in the kitchen and living, replace a couple of the wall sconces, etc. OH!!!! GOT RID OF THE BORDERS! Luckily the wall paper actually matches the theme we’re going with with earth tones brown/tans oppose to the ‘miami vice pastel blue theme!!! Looks like a nice coach and the pride as we have in our “new” 2006 Terry Quantum 330FKDS Extreme Weather model.
Home depot is saying we cannot put this product in an rv where the temps will go below 60 degrees or above 90 degrees because the sticky strips glue will deteriorate and cause the floor to come apart.. buckling and popping. I see a comment that one person had this happen. Please let me know if you live or travel where your rv
Looks amazing y’all! From how you’re gesturing contacting the screw head under the slide, you may be able to use a flat file to shave the screw head. Additionally, I don’t suggest using THD “wood putty”, filler, etc., to fix the gouge in the vinyl flooring. Instead, use an epoxy putty stick from Mohawk in a suitable color. If necessary, different color sticks can be combined following the provided recipe card to achieve an exact color match. You’ll use a plastic leveling card (no sanding) to flatten the repair, let harden, then apply any touch up color using a color pen from Mohawk. After that, you can leave the repair as-is, or top coat it with aerosol laquer of the appropriate sheen, using steel wool to rub out a matching sheen. Feel free to reach out if clarification or additional information is needed. This will provide you with a great looking, durable repair. Just be sure to file down that screw head first. Yikes! I can only imagine that you were just crushed when that happened.
Wow….I have been waiting for such an all inclusive article of taking out and replacing the floor in an RV…I am working on my floors right now, this was very timely too! The lighting was good, you communicated it well, you had great article…the camera was pointed just where I wanted to see…thank you…and it looks beautiful…you guys did a great job!
Ugh,bummer about the scrape. Good job though. It looks so much better! I removed the carpet in my BR and it is simply amazing the amount of staples they use. Makes no sense. I put down luxury vinyl that matches the rest of the motorhome. I want to do my slide now but have not tackled it yet because I am still unsure about the transition. Hate the carpet in the rvs in general.
Great job. Thanks so much for taking the time to discuss the issues you ran into… I’m planning to do our 5th wheel floor and the slides have me perplexed…. your whole thought process in addressing the issues was excellent. A few ideas for your next project: 1) Glued sheet vinyl… use a heat gun… comes right off 2) Staples… use 2 pairs of vice grips… grab the staple end with one, use the other to leverage, rather than pulling with muscles…. that’ll tire you out!
Little tip for the future with staples, you can use a 4 1/4 or 6 inch cordless grinder with a cutting wheel and just cut the staples flush. Then tape an old shirt on a broom to catch any sharp edges or ones you missed. Also this gives me a good idea to test the slide on the bare floor with a piece of luan that would be the same thickness as the new flooring. Bring the slide in on the Luan would reveal the pesky floor gougers that are hiding under the slide.
We just bought an 04 DRV and this is on the must do list. Did you guys ever do anything with the area around the bed? My wife has asthma and allergies so I need to do it before she spends any time in it. It’s also going to need all new furniture and paint. I have lots of questions for you guys lol I just found your website and subscribed!
We just took out our carpet and went with the vinyl plank click and lock in our RV and we had some tricky spots too. Always the extra challenges when working in an RV, right?! We didn’t have slide-outs to work with, but had other challenges. We didn’t have to take out the vinyl with the click and lock, but so glad to see the carpet go! We didn’t take the carpet out of the bedroom either. We LOVE our new floor! It’s a lot of work but it’s worth it, as you already know. Nice work! Enjoy!!
Great article and I’m just about to tackle the floor in our Cedar Creek Cottage Destination trailer – which has carpeted slides. I am curious how well the vinyl laminate that is glued down is holding up. Our trailer is semi-permanently moored in AZ where the inside temps can get well over 100° F in the summer. I am more worried about puckering when it expands in the heat. My current plan is to fasten the first row of vinyl laminate to the slide and then glue down a transition molding on top of that rather than have the delicate edge of the plank exposed. I am using Nucore click together planks. Any thoughts are appreciated!
Nice article, thanks. Our old sheet vinyl OEM flooring actually split down the middle during the Polar Vortex deep freeze this past February. I looked into the Allure product for our 26″ Class C, but the temperature range was too narrow for our locale. We live in Illinois and this past winter it got down to -30ºF. I found at Menards a click lock vinyl plank, rated for -20ºF – +140ºF, designed for vacation homes/cottages that are not climate controlled. It is Mohawk Home Expressions Luxury Vinyl Plank. The downside is they offer only a few color choices. Waiting for it to warm up here so I can install it. I am a bit concerned about removing the carpet and what I will find underneath. It looks like the carpet was glued down. Should be fun…
Update on protecting the flooring under the slide-out : I installed the Lippert Slickers and they work great over the carpet. They have pointed grippers on the bottom side, which work well to keep them from sliding on the carpet when the slide-out is moving in/out. However, after I remove the carpet and install the vinyl tile plank I’ve ordered I would need to cut/grind off the pointed grippers. I just found AP Products 013-4300 Slide-Out Sled on the Walmart site. They have a rubber foam backing that will work much better on the tile floor.
Thanks so much for your article where you man is pulling up the carpet is where i have a problem underneath. My cottage 40CCK is the CARPET STAPLED AND CAN I PULL IT UP TO SEE WHATS UNDERNEATH THE FLOOR AS I HAVE A HOLE AND DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO IF YOU CAN SUGGEST ME TO FIX THE FLOOR WITH WHAT AND PUT THE CARPET BACK DOWN AGAIN WOULD BE SO HELPFUL
Count Yourself, VERY-LUCKY !!!! My Carpet was UNDER the WALLS, UNDER EVERYTHING !!! its like they did All Flooring THEN Built, Everything on TOP of the Carpet and even the OUT-Side walls were On TOP of, Im guessing a Inch of Flooring !!! It took 1 full day to get Carpet out of Bathroom Under shower and strip Water-Closet Plus all the staples !!!! 40 foot Cobra 5thwheel .Late 90s . perusal U, Your’s, was Very Easy !!!!!!
A little Velcro would hold your corner piece in place. You can buy it at Walmart in the sewing section. Just pick up a roll of the industrial-strength Peel and stick. Pretty handy to have any RV anyway. TFS. Hubby and I are almost done doing the main floor in our motorhome. Ugh! We went with the click lock laminate. We did lay a subfloor down to help with insulation and sound.
i think the old pup thinks you are the best and he’s very happy to live in the nice clean RV To.. great job i did a 1990 allegro several yr’s ago its very satisfying when your done great job kid’s.. im glad you showed a lot of detail on that slide i have a 5th wheel with a gap now i understand why thank you & happy trails to you great job

Hi guys! New subscriber here 🙂 We actually just purchased our first RV, a fifth wheel for our family of 4 and we have a pop out, so I found this super useful! Couple of questions for you, how is the floor holding up after 2 years? And how did the piece that went over the lip of the pop out hold up? We plan on taking a trip to Lowe’s this weekend and starting our floor!
You probably can carefully cut out the scratched plank and replace it with another of exact size. If you have a regular metal file that might work to file down the offending screw flush and even glue a small piece of felt over the screw head (same sort of idea as felt protector on chair legs. Presuming you have a little room to work at it. Great job!
I hope your hanging flooring is holding up well…perhaps building a pieced insert to support the cantilevered edge for when it’s pulled in/travel mode could be constructed. I can really see that over time that flimsy edge will ‘go’… The overall look is gorgeous…and perhaps you could use a dremel tool to grind off that scratching screw head. You really did a top notch job!
Well,done, very articulate, I will be reflooring similar this winter in my 38 foot Winnebago. Great tips, will use Home Depot and like their product as I have seen it laid out in other articles. Use a drimmel with extension to grind that screw head. Thank you for the great guidance and great cheer! See you on the road of life.
Hi seen this article love the flooring color choice. I opened my camper up for the first time a week ago since locking it up for the winter.Once i opened it I came to discover all my sheet vinyl split and cracked. I see this project was done a while back and wanted to know how the flooring held up during the weather changes. I am in Wisconsin where the winters get very cold and the summers get very hot and was hoping you could shed some light on if this is the right choice for me as well.
You could try gluing a small strip of one of those plastic flexible cutting boards to the underside where the slide tips down although you might have to shop around for a glue that will hold it in place. The article was excellent. Lots of “doing it” footage as well as clear explanations of what you encountered and what decisions you made. Thank You.
Thanks for your 6 yr old article; others may have mentioned this, but in regards to your screw scratch on the freshly installed flooring, and judging from the camera angle perspective, it actually looked like a typical flooring joint because of it’s short straight run. In any case, it most likely faded out after you worked in some vinyl putty or touch-up marker paint. Great article and tips, thanks for sharing!
I enjoyed your article and the flooring looks great! I have just purchased the same flooring for my 2004 RV and have read that it is not recommended for temperatures below 55 degrees and above 85 degrees. We do not keep our RV temperature controlled while not in use and was wandering how your flooring has endured the temperatures??
Outstanding article! Thank you so much for sharing. We have a quarter million dollar Diesel pusher with 3 slides. Being a retired police officer on a limited income, we opted for a nice pre-owned R.V that was a trade in, and we waited till November when the dealer’s price dropped for New inventory. We paid just under 100K for a pristine unit. After 1 year of our dogs traveling and camping with us, the carpet cleaning became more than anyone could stand. To have 140 sq. ft. installed was $1500.00! We are doing the job ourselves, and needless to say, to do the job myself is scary. This article explains enough to where I can do this with confidence.
When doing these jobs keep extra pieces (forever). You can remove the scratched piece once you fix the screw. Start in the back corner that is on top of the other sticky edges, pull it up slowly and then loosen its own sticky edges from under the other two pieces next to it. Slide the new piece’s sticky edges back under the ones next to it and then squish it back into place. Should be like new. If it’s been a long time sometimes it too new looking and you can see it was swapped out next to old ones. Then you have to work it a bit to make it look older.
