All, I wanted to share some photos of my recent renovations to my '78 Royale Center Kitchen. Ever since I bought it, I was a little put off by the green(ish) shag carpeting. It had been replaced once (in the 80's, I think) but was really past its expiration date. I decided to go with an engineered wood floor (leftovers from my upstairs home renovation). I used Mohawk "Fashion Gray" engineered wood flooring - basically a hand-scraped hickory veneer on a manufactured (plywood) tongue-and-groove base that's a lot more stable than a solid wood floor, which is important for the floor in an RV. I used "Level Step" underlayment that looks like 3mm neoprene with a vapor barrier, and used two layers under the indoor/outdoor carpet I used in the cockpit (for sound deadening - worked like a champ), and for trimming the dinette bases. I replaced the toilet while I was tearing things up, and in the end the coach FINALLY looks like I pictured it when I bought it (looking past the green shag carpet)
I have been beating my head bloody trying to get the photos in order and in a workable album, but no matter what I do, they read from "finished to starting". Oh well - just scroll from the end result through the job to the horrible first photo that looks like one of those abandoned coaches you see on craigslist.
