Thats it Michael. Spot on. I must have written it badly about the time taken and the supporting from underneath.. The cutting the carpet and laying the floating laminate only took 2 hours. Theres no tricky bits to cut round in the galley area, so its a bit of no brainer job.

What you have written is excellent about curing the spongy-ness. My friend say's he cured his floor with something similar to what you've detailed, that he found out in the Haynes Caravan Manual by John Wickersham.

Incidently, the carpet in my ABI does come out with a bit of gentle expletives. Its only lightly glued in and comes out for a bit of attention with the Bissell Carpet Cleaner at the beginning of the season.

  hi donf,  we had the bathroom floor tiled at home & the number of times i went flying ( literally) was quite unnerving. but on a trip to aldi or lidl's i came across some non slip matting, it's like a very small mesh but it's covered in a rubbery type of stuff. popped some under said bathroom mat, problem solved!! you don't have to glue it in place it just stick's. you would probably need a few sheet's of it, but it's not that expensive,& you can take it out & put it in your next van.
