Bill & Howard
I Didn't use any moisture barrier under my wood floor. I don't
have the wood in the living room of the coach & I haven't heard
any more noise in the driving area. If I was doing it again I think I
would bring the wood right up to the seats & then put carpet in the
driving area. I think it would be hard to use the wood under the
drivers feet.
Bill I didn't use wood on the steps because of the fill for the
jack's I use the carpet & it looks good but you have to protect it
form the outside elements. If I could get the commercial rubber treads
like Ernie gets I might try them when this gets bad & my other carpet
is still good. Maybe the next time I'll put a walkway of granite down
the middle of the living room & carpet on each side. I like to keep
improving things.
Bill someone gave me another fix for my fridge today. If it works
I will post it.
