Floor replacement

[jim7489]

Looking at replacing floor in 24B because of the glue bleeding thru.
Has anyone replaced an older floor ? Can you cover the vinyl with the new laminate flooring ? I have seen older Class A's that people replaced carpeting with 'wood' floors.
If I opt to replace the vinyl with new vinyl will they remove the cabinets ?
Any experience with this ??

Not happy with Jayco on this one.

We had our floor replace on our 2018 Seneca by the dealer.
They cut around the edges of the cabinets and pulled the old floor. Used the old floor as a template to pre-cut the new floor.
On the new floor, they used caulk on the edges around the cabinets and areas where the factory trim did not cover the edge. They wanted to use a quarter round for the edges but I did not want that.

I have not done it. A number of people have commented like MD3 stated. Cut out the old floor around all the cabinets, then installed new. Most of the time, they finish it up with a piece of shoe or quarter round.

The linoleum, under the cabinets does not get replaced.

How did it turn out ? Did it hold up / No pulling away from cabinets ?
thanks

Why not the quarter round ?

Back in 15, we opened up the door to our 04 Montana and over the winter the vinyl (?) floor split from one end to the other. I cut it out along the walls and cabinets and pulled up the rolled and stapled edge of the carpet at the slide area. I first put down a thin layer of luan and installed a peel and stick type flooring. I kept a small gap between the cabinets and walls for expansion and down the road movement. I trimmed it in with corner round that matched the cabinets. Couldn't fine a short enough baseboard. It turned out great, until I put the slide in. I knew it was going to be close, but... it was just a smidge too tall and the slide was putting small wear marks in it. I had to take it all back out and put the flooring down right on the subflooring. Clearance issue solved and it still turned out great.
To my knowledge, the couple we sold the trailer to use the heck out of it and are not very easy on it and it's still going strong.

So far so good... it's been over a year now and still looks good.

A personal opinion on the look :
I wanted a tight and clean cut on the floor edge. Quarter round might look fine on the cabinet, I did not want it along the other walls.

Consider snap together vinyl planks. Easy to do yourself.

I like quarter round but go with the smallest size and stain it to match either the cabinets or the floor and it will almost disappear. If you use quarter round or other trim air nail it to the wall or cabinets so the vinyl can expand and contract under it.

Some of the Vinyl Plank Flooring (floating floor) manufacturers do not warranty their product if the floor is installed in RVs. The stated reason is the floor joints might pull apart if it gets too cold, like in unheated storage. Read the label carefully.
