jan a good idea there tessa

You can use laminate flooring but you must use underlay with a plastic backing and if you use a glueless type (such as click) then you must ensure that the joints are sealed with a moisture protector such as clickguard. But as Caz pointed out this will add weight to your camper.

Hi Jo

Really pleased you decided to keep it and give the camper a chance.

I bought a cheap ethnic mat type thing and put this across the entrance after the foot well.  This takes all the grot and can be shaken as necessary.  We also have 'shoes off' policy for wet weather - difficult with a dog a grant you!  The shoes also live on the mat if it's too wet to leave them outside.

The carpet is not that difficult to clean, some of the spray on carpet shampoo and a good vac and Hey Presto! Only needed to do it once in 4 years.

The floor on my TT is lino type material...A bit scratched and torn in places from loading/unloading etc...When I get round to replacing it...it will be with the same type of stuff...as this is easy to clean etc..would have thought laminate would not stand up to the rigours of camping trips..and as said would add to the payload of your camper..
