New Flooring for 300
#6

Simon, I never thought about how many radius cuts I was going to have to.make until I started this process. The small radius corners are pretty easy. Make sure you get a contour gauge. I used a 5" and a 12" . You can get them at the big box stores or amazon, etc. It is better to under cut than to over cut as you can always remove more material, but you can never add more back. I had to play around with the big radius in the pic as it has multiple boards in the cut, but I finally got it. The bathroom is on the other side of those cuts so I had to do it a second time. It was much easier because I save the scraps from the first cuts and used them as a template. Had to tweak it a little bit turned out really good.

I would say the other challenging part was at the door jams. In a normal residential install, you can undercut the jams and not have to be so precise with your cuts. However, I was concerned about doing this to my coach so I cut around them instead.

I bought 25% more LVP than I thought I would need and I used most of it. I think I ended up with 1/2 box of full pcs. and a lot of scraps. I'll hang on to the extra in case I have to make any repairs in the future.

I did use color matched, silicon caulk around the edges ( what a joy that was). initially I thought about adding some shoe or 1/4 round but everyone on the Guru's site convinced me otherwise. I am probably a little closer than the recommended gap to the edges and I hope that doesn't cause me any issues. I didn't glue it down like Richard recommended (sorry Richard) and I hope that doesn't come back to bite me later.

As far as the woodwork in the salon area is concerned, are you talking about the valences? If so, mine are fabric covered to. I removed the passenger side valence when I installed the new camera system and regret not addressing the lighting then. Now that is on my list of projects for this winter.I

Thanks to everyone for the nice comments
