Thanks for the info Thom!
By the way - What did you use for flooring? Is that the Allure?

NAUTIQUE...The flooring is Pergo "C'mon In" hardwood, style PHW 03 87001 Ginger. It may be closed out now. I found it at Lowes but the one store had only three boxes at $1.67 sq ft. Another Lowes had about 40 boxes but it was not discounted but they did reduce it to $2.00 sg ft.
JOMO....did the dyeing as recommended on this forum. I used a two gallon pump spray bottle and added three packages of RIT dye to each two gallons (I went from a medium gold colored carpet to the cocoa brown color). Brushed all the nap in one direction, soaked the carpet really good, worked it in with a medium stiff brush, brushed nap the opposite direction, reapplied the dye and DW worked it in with her hands (with gloves), let it dry overnight and vacuumed. We do pick up a little color if we walk on it with wet feet but plan to shampoo it soon and that should remove the excess residue.

FEDowner....the cupholder console came with the coach when we bought it....don't know if it is original equipment or not but it is really nice. The tray below the cupholders slides out about 14 inches. I keep an organizer basket on it to hold my neccessities (i-pod, snacks, shades, note pad, etc.). I don't think it would be hard to make one if you are a little handy with woodworking. I've done harder work.

Really nice job. I see you ran the flooring just behind the cockpit, which makes SO much sense with a doghouse. I don't have a dinette ... just table & chairs so reupholstering those would be a snap. I see you kept your original couch and recliner.
Looks really wonderful, Thom. You and DW should be proud. I think re-doing my floors will be my fall project, then I can go on from there.
