Yes I meant the Backing which was breaking up (causing sand like Deposits over the Floor )was sealed by the Latex making it nearly new .The pile was fine.

hi burge. i know i was just pulling your leg no harm done , yes we had the same on our 3 year old swift & talking about the pile the carpets they put in m/h's ARE a pile of shyt especially if you walk on them 6 months of the year . Cheyanne
 
As others have already said, when I take on a new van, I roll up the carpets, bag them, put them up in the loft, and buy cheap offcuts from a carpet shop. It's fine for us.

As an aside, I always put throws over seats and bench seats too. I must be a nightmare to live with. 😳

Nice when you sell on for new Owners to see hardly used carpets....we just had our new Van (2020 m/y) and carpets were taped up in the Wardrobe hardly used.

One of us is in our mid seventies, and the other has recently turned eighty.

My feelings are exactly as Burge expressed so well. When we change our van, no matter when we choose to do it, it's all about first impressions, because they are so important in life.

hi burge . we have had 7 m/h's 4 was new & we have had to change all the carpets because manufactures DONT put good carpets in m/h's . & as for your carpets in the wardrobe give them 3 years of using the m/h 6 months of the year & lets see how good they are . but to use your m/h that much you have to be retired . cheyenne
 
Thanks for this tip! After applying 2 coats of the latex, can the carpets still be rolled up for storage? Or will the latex make them too rigid?
