We have a 2000 Pathfinder with a damaged carpet.  I was thinking of replacing ours with Vinyl to aid cleaning. Has anyone replaced their carpet? As the carpet is fitted under the cupboards, did you remove them or cut around them? All advice welcome!

Our carpet has vinyl under it. If you look in the bed boxes you can see the vinyl and the carpet is on top and just goes into the box by a few inches. Its easy to remove the boxes by undoing a few screws and just lifting them enough to pull the carpet out. Hopefully yours will be the same.

I replaced mine 3 weeks ago
just unscrewed cupboards enough to lift and pull out old carpet carefully.I then used the old carpet ad a template to cut out the new one with a new Stanley knife.

Whalla fit like a glove fixed down round edges near both bedrooms with a staplegun.

I am thinking of replacing the carpet in our Pathfinder 2003. Having looked at the new models they seem to have a bound edge pair of full size mats.  Looking on the Peninne website they have them for sale but at rather more money than I am willing to pay.  If anyone has any ideas of where you can have something similar made I would be interested to know. Also if I was to take the existing carpet up would their be the vinyl covering that is in the toilet all through the trailer?

Thanks for the info I will try a local carpet store and see if they can help. I will have to wait until we have been away again as I am unable to open it up to get the measurements as it lives in storage. If anyone has theirs open and a handy tape measure the measurements would be very much appreciated! :-)
