There was a time when I thought that would be a good idea.

I don't like the carpet. Gets too dirty when camping and the wear
patterns show up in a hurry in such tight quarters.

I looked at Pergo. The ads make it look indestructible, don't they?

However. They have problems with moisture. Also and wood or laminate
flooring is going to add weight. So that's a minus for me. I've
decided that we should go with vinyl. A wood floor design but not the
downside of laminates.

Cheapskate that I am, I'm prepared to wear out the carpet that's in it
right now before doing anything else. But Someday! 8^)
