My solution is to pick up a few sample carpet squares at a local dealer to
"take home to see if the colors look good" Then I take a couple velco
strips and sew them to a couple squares (pile facing skyward, of course)
and when I get home each evening, I can slip off the shoes and strap on
the squares to my feet and have plush new carpet under foot throughout the
trailer and when it comes time for a cleaning, that pair is retired to the
dumpster and another set is installed. 8^)
