    Anyone done it? Looking to replace the dry carpet in our camper, never done it before does anyone have any tips? The dust it’s giving off it really bad.

    I used carpet tiles save some back for high traffic areas.

    The walls? I bought carpet and glue from megavan mats and followed the instructions, requires a little patience but it’s easy enough.

    I cheated and did the long side (without sliding door) in two pieces.

    My tip is to buy decent carpet.

    As above, carpet from mega van mats. Really easy job if you get the proper stuff as it stretches to cover the different shapes.

    Make sure you use decent high temp spray adhesive otherwise it starts falling off.. Dunlop high temp stuff is good

    Megavanmat stuff is ideal. The adhesive was pretty expensive though – I just bought some from Screwfix.

    No amount of Hoover action deals with it. Rub the carpet and a layer of dust/old glue appears. Time to go.
