silly question from a novice, read all of the above and got the idea how to proceed ok but wondered about lifting what looks like laminate flooring but not sure if it is. We have a Bailey Pagaent Champagne 2009. Can you just drill straight through or does this covering need to be removed.

I am wondering if the 'laminated' floor is ply with a wood like finish or is it a laminated floor with a gap and then the ply. Basically I am debating if I just remove the carpet and drill straight into the wood effect floor or do I try and lift whatever it is and then drill. My apologies for the confusion

Hi woody, your's is the same as mine, when you lift the carpet you see a wooden block floor underneath. The 'laminated blocks' are just impressed into the laminate to look like wood, the actual plywood is underneath it. I cut out the area that I wanted to remove by using the staggered block shapes as a guide, it helped to hide the cuts when it went down again.

Yeah sorry woody the above is right,some people have removed the wood effect laminate so it straight plywood then fit a new covering the choice is yours. Once it had removed my Lino I had a ply floor so I fitted a new carpet instead.
