Has anybody used 12"x12" or 18"x18" vinyl stick-on tile for their coach? This seems ideal for us--durable, flexible, cheap, easy installation, easy replacement of damaged tiles, etc.

Here's what I'm looking at:

http://www.lowes.com/pd_208426-61-A3239051_4294773819__?productId=3024166&Ns=p_product_qty_sales_dollar|1&pl=1&currentURL=%3FNs%3Dp_produc t_qty_sales_dollar%7C1&facetInfo=

They all seem to be 2 mm thick, though thicker would be nicer, I'm guessing--softer to walk on, better insulating/sound-deadening, more flexible.

I'd love to hear your thoughts and experience. I'm not up to the job of carpeting, and since we will be using our coach (once purchased...) in a sandy area, it would be easy to sweep out (vs. carpet) and keep clean. We also have two dogs that shed a bit, so dog hair would be easily removed.

I imagine I would still carpet the front seat area, the step and around the dinette (in a Royale), where the carpet typically goes up the sides and back of the bench seating. I wouldn't mind the tiles there, either, but would the glue melt here in AZ and have me returning to a sticky mess of tiles having fallen down. Shoot, I'd be open to tiling the step and doghouse/front seat area, too, if it was flat enough--would the tiles flex enough, but stayed stuck down, on any curved areas (like where the feet go when sitting in the passenger seat, up to the under-dash area? I feel like I'm doing a terrible job saying something really easy--it's late, and I'm not hitting on all cylinders...

Thanks!
Dave
