My RV Floor
I have never seen this before... Here are a few patterns of the vinal floor. What looks like a spill - IS NOT!
There are simulated "bleach spills" all over the RV floor.
Every "spill" is exactly the same as one of several "other" spills.
And also, the "grime" patterns are duplicated EXACTLY the same, here and there.
When I first purchased the RV, I tried to clean the floor; It would not clean! In disbelief and horror, I found the dirt patterns were incorporated in the design and manufacture of the vinyl.
Keystone called this style the "Party" coach. Obviously, they anticipated the coach to be destroyed quickly by animals, and could save money by the one year warranties never being needed.
I despise "party" types and their debase existence. This floor design also explains why the coach came with outside speakers.
In anger one night I cut the wires going to the outside speakers; Outside speakers is a dumb idea.
...And, don't get me wrong, I adore music. But I also adore the sanctity of the outdoors.
The solution came with its own problem: And that is weight.
I found no new flooring anywhere on the market designed for an RV.
The lightest solution was vinyl simular to what I had. And that was a whopping 30 pounds of Peel And Stick.
I hated doing it; But I had no choice.
I will NOT be continually reminded of humans that have no reason for existing,
especially inside something that I personally own, that reflects my personal ideals and values.
Partyers are a primitive form of life, that will exploit and corrupt their unseen beautiful enviroment,
and also, in a rampage, show no consideration for other life forms.
Mutants are a loud and irreverent lot, usually with brains forever permanently damaged, and awash with drugs.
Some are just genetic defects, with the addiction of drugs, used in a vain attempt to correct the original defect.
I will not have their life style imprinted on my floor.
Had to buy a new bottom toilet seal. Anytime you lift the toilet, you should get a new seal. I ran into a problem:
The toilet is an odd type, a model 110, and a special order taking up to three weeks.
Looks like the model 210 will fit, and it is very common.
I believe the seams will be problematic in a couple of years.
Debris and moisture can, theoretically, work its way in, and this could spread or lift the tile at the edges.
So I have done two things: First I rubbed in a white caulking into all the seams.
And second, after rubbing off the excess, I applied a sealer over the intire floor, with emphases on the seams.
Squares are easy to put down, but one continuous piece of vinyl would be better. It is harder and requires a super good template.
