Replaced Decades old carpet on 86 Grand Villa

We have found the time ( cancer, chemo therapy treatment and medically quarantined at home) to replace the decades old carpet.... with vinyl flooring from behind captains chairs to rear twin beds... we were impressed with the original factory install of cabinets and under flooring as all lines were straight and true.... sanded down under flooring.. no water stains found so we are satisfied with the condition of our 86 GV..

Next up is as Flat Screen TV up front between the visors.

Nice tile choice. Bet it even SMELLS better, now. You'll breath easier. And it opens the place up. Nice job,!

Yes and yes... when we pulled up early 2000's carpet and the carpet pad.  It was shocking the see how much " sand" was underneath... the non slide 86 actually looks bigger /wider .... we are ordering new modern bedding for the rear twins

Not sure what our plans are for the bathroom and toilet throne.  Same carpet...

Wow thanks for the inside photos as I had not seen these views since it was new.  Really miss the post tables that yours has.

Thanks.  We discovered the pole mounts under the carpet.  They had been carpeted over....  with the folding table top on the other side.  This gives us the chance to visit with friends and family with additional swivel tables.  It was a nice discovery..

That's a sweet lookin' rig. Nice to see a departure from the usual flooring choices. Looks great.
