Reflooring the RV: The Completion!

Reflooring the RV: The Completion!

In the final video in this series on reflooring the RV, we bring the project to a close. After installing the carpeting, I still had some things to do to wrap things up. Namely… Install quarter round trim around the edges of the vinyl plank flooring. Install transition pieces at the end of the carpet…

Reflooring the RV: Installing New Carpeting

Reflooring the RV: Installing New Carpeting

The next phase in our reflooring project was to install the new carpet. Unfortunately, I had a deadline pending (a campground reservation) and I really had to finish this project. So, I just buckled down and did it and didn’t record any video. I did, however, take some photos! So, I’m going to now walk…

Installing New Sound Dampening Material For A Quieter Drive

Once I had all the vinyl planks installed, it was time to install carpeting in the front cockpit and the rear. However, before I do that, I wanted to take the opportunity to put some additional sound dampening up front. This is just a nice little upgrade to do while there’s no floor in there….

My Cruise Control Stopped Working! Here’s How I Fixed It (Workhorse Chassis)

My Cruise Control Stopped Working! Here’s How I Fixed It (Workhorse Chassis)

My motorhome rides on a Workhorse W22 chassis. I honestly don’t know if what I’m about to say applies to other chassises. It may. You’ll need to do your own research. I first noticed the issue while driving on a bumpy road up in Canada between Montreal and Quebec City. I went to engage the…

Fixing The Vibrating Dryer! Splendide Washer/Dryer Combo Shakes Like Crazy.

Fixing The Vibrating Dryer! Splendide Washer/Dryer Combo Shakes Like Crazy.

Our rig came with a Splendide 2000 WD802M washer/dryer combo. Which is great since my wife was always tired of carting loads of laundry around the campground and finding rolls of quarters for the machines. 🙂 It’s a decent machine. Splendide has a newer model, but this is the one we have. I think even…

In the last installment, I covered my process for removing and repairing the sections of rotted subfloor. So, the next day, I went ahead and finished the job. My goal was to complete all subfloor prep and have the rig ready to accept the new flooring. So, the first thing I did was to finish…

At this point in my reflooring project, it was time to repair some rot spots on the subfloor. The problem wasn’t too bad. It was mainly in a few spots along the edge near the walls. Namely… Passenger side, front. There was a leak issue with this rig with the previous owner. I think the…

In the last video, I began the process of removing that pesky laminate wood flooring in order to make way for the new vinyl planks. On this day, I finished the job. I had to finish removing the laminate in the bathroom area. And yes, it was a lot of work just like the day…

Reflooring: Beginning To Pull The Old Laminate Flooring

Reflooring: Beginning To Pull The Old Laminate Flooring

Up to this point in the project, the jury was still out on whether I was going to pull the laminate flooring or not. The problem was that I didn’t know how it was attached. If there was a lot of adhesive under there, then pulling it would be a total nightmare and I’d rather…
