We had our house redone in vinyl (from a roll) a few years ago, and
really liked it, so we had the coach done in the same vinyl, by the same
folks that did the house. Left the cockpit area in carpet. Put down 3
carpet runners from Home Depot to forestall "frozen foot syndrome" during
unexpected night-time excursions. Worked well, sweeps and vacuums easily.
The runners can be swept, vacuumed or shaken out the door.

There is a big difference in carpet in a house and carpet in an RV.
The house does not move so the environment outside can be controlled to keep the carpet lasting longer and limiting need to clean.
The RV, in my humble opinion, is the WORST place to put a wall to wall carpet. Sure, it looks nice and feels good when your shoes are
off, as long as it is parked in the back yard.
BUT if you travel to parks, beaches, anywhere the outside environment changes, that carpet will get grossly dirty and after a few cleanings,
that carpet just won't clean anymore.
My suggestion is to hard coat the floor, with tile, which is what I did, or that pour on floor surface. Either will help keep the floor water
tight and help control the dirt problem.
To help keep the floor warmer in cold weather, you put down throw rugs. There are some very nice ones out there. If you find an indoor/outdoor
carpet, when it gets dirty you just take it outside and shake it out or hose it down if needed. Let it dry and put back inside.
I prefer the carpet with the back side rubber coated so it won't slide around the floor. This is particularly helpful if you have pets traveling
with you.
I have had tile and throw rugs for a few years and cleaning has become very easy because of this fore thought.
Good luck with your project.
