I am getting ready to recarpet my 78 Royale. Is there any advantages in staying with the sloped floor? Do most people remove the slope and go flat? What is involved in removing the slope? Thanks for the help, Scott.

On the Royale coaches fitted with hanging bunk beds, they raised the floor
to facilitate the chilluns' climb into the bunks. Many of the raised floors
have subsequently be removed by people without children or grandkids. My
best guess anyway.

My slope starts from level elevation to a incline at the forward side of the entry door, and goes to the cockpit steps. Originally it must of had bunks on the drivers side, and a dinette on the pax side.
I am guessing that there is level plywood underneath the incline? So if I took out the plywood that makes up the slope there should be a solid base underneath to put the new carpet on? P.S. Jim H, I am glad to hear that you agitated the hospital staff enough that they had no choice but to give you a early release! And again, thanks for the help. Scott

Staff at the hospital are some of my favorite people. Very professional
and compassionate. Big surprise to me. But, St. Vincent's is a CHRISTIAN
FACILITY, I should have known. No bad words or sick jokes from me. Yeah, I
know, now you are going to say, "What have you done with the real Jim Hupy
?" I am much alive and well, thanks to some very skilled and caring people.
This is April 2.
