Where's a good place to get some from? Been to Carpet Right but they don't have a very wide selection.

FLOOR LINO

If they dont have much stock, most carpet shops will have sample books of different flooring that they can order from. The bigger shops have regular deliveries so it shouldnt take long to come in.

Put a layer of foam insulation, them plywood, then lino. Warm and much easier to clean mud, sand, wet grass, etc off of then carpet. :wink:

We use a throw on top for bare feet at night.... and a couple of door mats - one in and one out during the day to catch most things from tracking in.

Doesn't keep other van owners out. We still let them in. :lol:

Got mine from a skip outside a carpet showroom! :D
1989 VW T25 Holdsworth Villa 3

It's got a VW motor, a 116.8 cubic inch plant, Michelin tyres, VW suspension, VW shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas. What do you say, is it the new RedSquirrel bus or what?

I used the self adhesive tiles from B&Q, easier to trim and fit. Carpet goes back in the winter as it keeps the van warmer but the Vinyl is so much easier to keep clean. :D

It is very easy to keep clean. Some of the shows/trips we have been on this year have been a little muddy. Just wipe clean.

B&Q sale - I reckon self adhesive floor tiles - whole floor under a tenner - then a change of style next year if required - and a piece of p&*SS to fit.

i've got Altro t20 marine safety flooring,it's better than lino and more hardwearing. Go to carpet/flooring specialists not carpet showroom for it or you could use 'polysafe' flooring-just as hardwearing but more colour choice?
