Hi all,
So I posted awhile back that we were going to put LVP in the bathroom and leave the carpet everywhere else. Change of plans. Now going to do the whole coach in LVP. I've already pulled out all of the carpet and pad except under the driver/passenger seat (I was able to cut out around the base). I'm about 1/2 way done removing the linoleum (what a PIA). I do have a few questions for clarity.
1. I'd like to remove the seats but need to gain access to the back of the generator compartment to get to some of the bolts. Is there a manual release on the gen slide that will allow it to come out farther so I can get to the back of the compartment?
2. My coach is a 92 so I don't have any slides and don't have to deal with those challenges. Also, my coach was all carpet so I won't have any transitions.
- For Richard: since no transitions, would you still be against using the high zoom insulation that you used for your floor? And... Did you glue both the underlayment and the LVP?
3. When I pulled up the carpet in the front, I discovered the wires that power the seats, running from under the dash. What is everyone doing with them? I'm thinking about routing a groove in the floor so that the wires are below the LVP and then come up out of the floor under the seats. Or just getting some of the corner molding for wire runs and installing along the floor, butted up to wall so they are out of the way. Thoughts?
4. Best way to remove the paper and glue left over from the linoleum removal? I have just about every know scraper and razorblade gizmo known to man. Sometimes seems like I'm gouging more wood up than glue. I've made a few angle blocks to steady the blades but pretty worthless so far. Thoughts?
Thanks
