Not difficult we did this with our last van. Measure up and use a large sheet of brown paper as a template. We had good off cuts from when we re-carpeted the lounge and edging was not an issue - though I guess it could be if it unravels easily.

You can use heavy duty velcro to secure it, but if you get the sizing right it's not an issue and better still makes it removable for cleaning.

we fitted a new carpet with ease.go to a carpet warehouse and buy a roll end the quality of which is your choice and will depend on price.when we looked they started at £10 and went to £100.these roll ends are 16 foot long so will accommodate any normal caravan.if you take out the old one with a very sharp knife and use this for a template,cutting a quarter of one inch over size all round.and then refit to the caravan.these carpet shops all have fitters on hand and due to the size it should not cost much to fit.i secured ours with tiny brass screws and cups at 18 inch intervals along the full length at each side.still looked new when we sold it.

I found it quite easy.

Now i remember why,i am a carpet fitter

Changed our carpet for vinyl with just a runner down the middle for when its cold.

Much easier to keep clean especially with the dog(and the kids).

Just roll it up in the summer when its red hot

on the van we have now i fitted a runner the full length of the van,cost £40 best money ever spent,screwed down by tiny brass screws and cups at 18 inch spaces each side.never moved yet.if i could have got one the width of the walkway it would have been better.
