We want to replace the carpet in the front area (two slides) with wood/laminate. Anybody have a ballpark price for materials and labor for such a job?

I went with the grip strip. Adhesive on all 4 sides. It seemed like it would be more stable.

Good thing about Allure and other brands is they're made of vinyl and can get wet. IMO this is a better choice than the wood laminates. The vinyl might be more temperature stable too. Allure makes 2 types; one that has a peel and stick edge and another that is a snap and lock type. I've read here that the snap and lock is the better way to go.

Ernie in Weatherford, TX is likely the best at this kind of work if you want a professional and he uses hardwood and not the cheap laminates. I would guess he would be in the $3000 range for a 40 foot coach but you should contact him for information and a reservation as he is usually booked out 9-12 months.
What I post is my 2 cents and nothing more. Please don't read anything into my post that's not there. If you disagree, that's OK.
Can't we all just get along?

I did the front half of the Sahara with Allure from HoD. $300 of material and I had a half box let over. I also bought a roll of rosin paper. It took 3 days, 1 of those ripping up the old floor in the galley area.





The jury's still out on whether this is a good solution for a motor home. They don't recommend using Allure in a non-temperature controlled environment. The trick is to make sure it floats. Do not screw or nail anything through the vinyl into the subfloor. This floor has been through all 4 season in New England and it still looks great.

Without knowing the area size, exact material or even the area your located in, it's impossible to say.

Work by a pro or by you? Square feet? Quality desired? Is carpet easily removable? Subflooring type and condition?
