Has anyone removed the non-skid "pad" from the steps on the inside of the coach? Ours is becoming very "used" looking and I'd like to replace them. This is in a 2002 U320 and they cover the Corian steps. And any ideas on where to buy the replacement "pads"?
Thanks
When we replaced our "OUTSIDE" non skid pad we used a hair dryer to get a corner started, then slowly pulled the rest away. You will have some glue reidue left. Many different solvents available, I do not know what is best to use on corian. Replacement pads are available from Encore RV in Nac. Welcome to Encore Motorhomes (http://encoremotorhomes.com/) Hope this helps.
If you are not near Encore, or theirs are the wrong size, visit any shop that sells custom skateboards. The non-skid that is used on the topside of a skateboard is the same stuff.
I have hardwood for my step area, not corian. My non-skid pads are getting dull looking also. What I did was some heavy duty velcro and a piece of astroturf type door mat. May look gaudy, but it sure keeps the dirt out! You would not believe the dirt it holds. You just peel it up when you want to shake it off outside. Anyway, that is my gaudy fix.
I just removed the non-skid on my inside steps -- really grungy around the edges. I was able to get an edge started and then just pulled. It seemed that everytime I had to stop to take a breadth, there was glue residue where I restarted. But no problem getting the glue off by using plenty of rubbing alcohol and a scotch scrubbing pad. The pad even removed some scratches on areas not convered. And the plastice came off in one piece. It was about 80 degrees temp at the time so if you are in a cooler area - use the hair blower as suggested to warm it up.
