Looks good
What are you going to do at the entry?
FYI- I always start at the entry with the factory stair nose trim and work out from there

We are thinking of a rubber step nose that matches the current vinyl on the steps from Roppe Corp.  We also are looking at a metal step nose. That has been the challenge. Finding something I like and that has a smooth transition.

I agree with Ernie on start point-unless- you already have the trim and planned out your start allowing for the trim. It could be a bit tough getting a nice neat joint with step moulding after the fact.

Taking out the carpet up front and in the bedroom is VERY high on our " to do " list. Two of our friends who own Foretravels have installed Karndean Tile in their coaches. I have been in the building trades all my life and had not heard of this product, but we are very interested in using it for our remodel. Although I have installed my fair share of flooring,  I never have done so in a motorhome. Bet Erniee has a few under his belt!!

Will we have any concerns in the slide area?
Looks like I will have to deal with the face of the rise at the slide.
Are there any concerns in the cockpit area?? I will have to glue the tile here and in the stair well.
I assume I should remove the captains chairs, sofa.... should I remove the dining booth seats??

I am still not sure about the bedroom area, especially after reading this thread. We want to get rid of the carpeting, but it goes up on all three sides of the bed. I am not sure that I could install this "drop in" tile over soundproofing material. What is the material anyway? Where do you get it.? How can it be "expensive" when you are talking about only 34 sq. ft. ( 54 sq. ft. if you include the sides of the bed )??

We can't wait to get into this project, but any " heads up " would be much appreciated.

Our files show the PO (Brett?) replaced the carpet in 07. Installed was "Congoleum Dura Ceramic" floor tile. The # I have is, "RA41 H0270 12 WL 274". The bedroom was not done, nor was the doghouse up front, not much traffic anyhews. The bath was done, and whomever did the job gets my medal. It's easy to maintain, spills are easily cleaned. We had carpets in previous coaches, what a pain!

The Roppe comes in many colors. Just don't use tacky gold metal

99% of my clients come to me for engineered wood. I select the stair nose to match.

Motorhome renovation is still progressing. Laying floor and tile is complete.  Just need to grout tile and trim out the perimeter along the base of the floor. Trimmed out the steering column and brake pedal with some aluminum.  I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, but I still have other improvement projects lined up.
