We have BLACK carpet in the front of the coach: it is wonderful. Doesn't show any stains or wear. It is made by Fabrica and is also very expensive. It came in the Newell when it was built in 1998 (it's durable!). If you want something that will last and not show any wear - use these products.


Tuga, have you had any problems with lint showing up on your black carpet? I'm sure it's great for stains and wear. Curious as to how much it shows because with a dark background I could imagine it might show lint, hair and so on more easily?

Wow! Ya'll are great! Thank you for the overwhelming response.

Larry - Thanks but no thanks. I'd prefer to do this job myself.

To everyone with suggestions of the prego or like flooring. I will continue to read the pros and cons of the stuff before making an yay or nay decision. The idea of it getting scratched up easily is not a good selling point.

Michael - If the Newell coach factory primarily uses carpet or granite. What do you think is the reason behind that? Carpet because it's plush for the feet?

Mike - Yes, I want to do the job myself. Save some cash, learn something and I'll have the satisfaction of knowing I have some sweat equity!

Tuga - This Centiva product what kind of warranty does it have? If I was interested could I buy the materials and install myself? And when you say expensive what are we talking? What would you say are the benefits instead of using real wood?

Ken - Thanks for the information on what to stay away from. I don't want any future problems if at all possible. Don't need any moisture problems that's for darn sure!

Chester - I like the tongue and groove stuff. I think the pre finished wood is one of the top ideas on my list.

Ron - That rock hard maple looks beautiful! It makes the coach look specious and clean. Thanks for sharing the pictures. It helps me really get an idea of what I could do with my 79. Your 96 newell is looking tits with that dark granite!

Jay - I love the look of the stone. But perhaps you're right it probably is to heavy for my chassis?

Randy - You and me both, I'd like to see the cork flooring installed in a coach.

Wally, thanks for all the great thoughts from the different ideas of members. Wow! That might be a record for members addressed in one post. You have a lot of

ammo here and you may end up with more before its over.


I wanted to let you know if you are interested or anyone else if your not, wants a commercial brand of laminate flooring, I have about 100 sqft which I figured would

do a coach about your size. Especially if your leaving the area around your bed and maybe the drivers area carpeted. The brand is called: Quick Step Elegance. It is

usually only installed by professional flooring companies and not available at home stores. I know a guy in your area that is the dealer for this brand and would sell you

any extra for cost. If you decided you wanted this product you can have it free of charge. I can ship it to you or if you can wait a 6-8 weeks, I'll be close to your

area working on some rental property and can meet up with you.


The pictures here are of the flooring with and without a flash. The brighter pics are closer to what it looks like.


Like I said, if Wally doesn't want it, and anyone else is interested, just let me know and we can work out the details.
