Removing carpet

[speed racer]

I have an 05 Dolphin and was wondering if I removed the carpet in the living area does the vinyl flooring extend all the way across the floor?

It *might*. That was a common installation technique in RVs and mobile homes "back in the day." But that's me speaking as a guy who used to do floorcovering 20+ years ago. However, I'd be willing to bet that it's dependent on the floorplan.

Most sheet-vinyl flooring is available in 6' and 12' widths, so the piece that's installed will have one of those dimensions. But it could be, say, a 3'x12' strip that covers the hall, kitchen, and bath if that was the most economical use of the material. Keep in mind wherever the carpet met the vinyl there will be holes from either stapling or Z-bar, so the floor under the rug might not be serviceable anyway.

FWIW, mobile-home mfrs used to put the walls down on top of the carpeting too. What a pain...

We removed carpet in LR and it was only partially tiled. same in BR area.

We have a 2001 National Splash. It may be different with different years or models.

I don't know about the Dolphin but the Vinyl in my Winne goes wall to wall. The carpet is stapled right on top of the vinyl.
