I did it in a few steps and it took me about an hour and a half. I
guess it depends on which direction you are going to run your boards to
determine how much you will need and how much cutting you will do. I
looked at several pictures of vans that had this done and I like the
fron to back look the best. I felt it made the floor look bigger and it
was less cutting. Now that I've done it I guess I could do it in less
than an hour if I was in a real hurry.
1. Rip out old carpet (demolition is always fun I don't know why)
2. I left in the stock plywood/laminate ( at least I think it's stock)
3. I cut the boards to about 50" ('84 Westfalia)
4. Install the flooring. I had 1 1/2 pieces left over.
I bought this at costco with a $5 off coupon. Not sure if they still
have the coupon or if it's expired. I used the flooring that already
had the "underlayment" attached. I did not use glue. I plan on
getting a Persian rug (or look a like) to lay over the floor. I used the
small "cut off" ends to use as a block for tapping the boards in. BE
CAREFUL NOT TO TAP TO HARD OR YOU MAY CHIP THE TOP LAYER! E-mail me for
more info.
