Bedroom rug replacement - anything special I need to know?

We're having MOT replace the bedroom rug and the covers over the side cable/hose channels on our 2004 295 that has two slides and a north/south bed.  Anything special I need to be aware of?

when I replaced my bedroom rug, I was advised by foretravel that the
underlay was made of a fireproof material.  I cleaned the underlay and
left it there.

I was told the bedroom and area in the driving seats pad was also a sound deadening pad.  I had noticed the difference in the thickness under the carpet.

Well when we decided that I was putting Maple Eng wood down in living and bedroom areas I realized that I would be taking out that Fireproof/sound deadening underfelt, and it then would remove 2 sorta safety items-fire and noise. I then looked at the real life issues and figured if we had a fire I have yet to see that this material stop any flames etc from consuming you as the whole structure collapses around you pretty fast anyway, and, secondly the slight increase in noise from engine only happens while you are 30+ feet away from it in the front and with all the other noises around it would not make any difference. Well after over 10k miles on the trip the noise was NOT an issue and we have yet to test the flames and fire one!! That one you will read about no doubt on the Forum and if  it happens  you can look up in the sky and say "told you so John" Had planned cremation anyway!

In conjunction with a full coach tile job, we had our bedroom carpet replaced at Infinity in NAC.  They said the OEM factory sound-deadening stuff under the old carpet was in good shape, so they left it in place.  They laid the new carpet directly on top of it.  If I had it to do over again, I would have had them use some conventional foam padding between the new carpet and the sound-deadening material.  As it is, the new carpet feels too "firm" under my feet - I would prefer it to be a little softer, with more "give" to it.  JMHO.

Given that you have slides, attention needs to be paid to any nailing strips (or other sharp things) that will be under the slide as it retracts and extends, especially in light of any wiring that in under the slide that might move with the slide.
