Any tips on removing hardwood floor?

I want to refurbish the flooring in my 2000 SeaBreeze. I have removed the carpet, but there is hardwood through the kitchen, toilet area, and hallway. The hardwood appears to be glued down to vinyl in these areas and I am wondering if anyone has tips in lifting this up.

Floor removal

I used a small air chisel with a wide angled bit. Took it up but it wasn’t easy. Had to fill some divots where I went too deep. Came out fine though

Air Chisel will work if you have a big enough compressor. They use lots of air and I mean lots. You can use a multi tool little slower but less damage to subfloor. glued down flooring is a PITA. If you have the time and patience it can be done. I have done a couple of houses and two of our MH's . Good luck to you and your knees.

Played with it a little tonight. The floor isn't coming up from the vinyl. however, the vinyl is coming up fairly easily. I will need to multitool around the cabinets to cut through the vinyl as it runs under the cabinets, shower, etc. So this won't be super hard.

Thanks all.

Floor removal

Mine came out from underneath the cabinets without issue. It doesn’t extend very far below them. Not as much glue there either
