in the closet or the actual room? Closet just lifts up (pretty much).. Once you get it started you will remove it pretty easy. Bedroom.. I had wood put in but I wasnt there for removal

We replaced our bedroom carpet. The coach had a bed slide so it was easy to go around. Do not get rid of the padding. It is special heat and sound deadening and cost over 100 dollars a foot now.

Pete,

Are you asking if anyone has done it, or if they have done it themselves as opposed to having a shop do it? 

I suspect the latter.  John S had his done by FOT.

Just had ours done this May by a friend, who is a professional floor installer. He was going to " seam" pieces around the bed. I requested he cut it out of " one" piece. He took measurements, made a sketch, cut the carpet outside of the coach, installed it over the existing pad, trimmed it.....came out PERFECT !!  Labor and materials should cost around $500 to $800. find a scrap piece of carpet and a guy who " moonlights ".

FOT did mine. Tip: as John S points out, sound deadening pad expensive. David Flanagan suggested leaving it down and adding a layer of conventional padded.
Inexpensive and luxurious.

DIY or professionally installed, consider this option
