I covered the area under the main slide in linoleum too. So far no problems. goes in and out just as smooth as ever. I travel with 2 bulldogs so getting rid of all the carpet made the rv alot easier to maintain. Check out the pics. I think it makes it like a new rv.

Good luck with whatever you choose...
Hi, When I saw your post I was interested and checked on Allure through Google. I found a blog that told a frightening story of a smell problem with the flooring. I don't remember the web site, but it should be easy to find. I think you will be glad you did.

You did some job. It looks amazing. How long did that take you? I do not know why they do not come from the factory standard without carpets. Rug is way too hard to maintain.

Yes. I had everything taken out, covered in linoleum, then bolted back down.

What is your coach? I cannot seem to find what your coach is. With the Journey's, the issue is the big slide as I stated before. It does not slide out straight. It goes out and then sets down. When it comes back in, it will lift up and then come over top of the carpet. That is the issue we are having.

Hi stardalo. I do not remember exactly how long it took best I can remember is about a week of doing some each day (floor).

Thank you. The white bully, Coco, is the daughter of Cherokee Legend Rock, who is one of the most successful show bulldogs out there the last few years. The brindle is Rocco, he is 58 pounds of muscle. I had them both spayed / neutered, too much work to breed. Great dogs, love them both.
