Since you live in BC, you might consider http://daveandljs.com/.  They have done what you want many times and are not too far away.

Bill

Thanks.  I always enjoy seeing what others can do with their coaches, and what a professional comes up with.  The whole point for me, however, is to do it myself, and realize a result that is as good or better than what the pros could do with unlimited access to my chequebook. You see, I don't golf.

A few years back, we had CoachMasters in Bend replace out tiles (had previously done away with the carpet in the living area) with a laminate plank (cork, and then hardwood veneer on top.  It is also a floating floor and we have had no problems with it for the past 5 or 6 years.

I don't recall the specific cost as we purchased the planks and had them do the tile removal and floor laying and I think the total time was about a week so maybe around $4000.

BJ Sprague:
Several motorhome friends have recently had new floors installed and I've been fortunate to tour and "ooh and "aah" over the results.  Those who had tile floors replaced or installed also installed radiant heat under the new tile.  They raved about this coach upgrade.    The floor was bare feet comfortable even on a cold camping weekend.  The cost of new tile throughout the motorhome plus the radiant heat system was about $10,000.  

Another friend had laminate flooring installed, including laminate on the vertical walls in the entry area.  It was extremely good looking.  They had the flooring on their living room area slide redone with low pile commercial style carpeting and there was not significant elevation difference - an excellent remodel.

At the park we are staying in at the moment, there is a dealer bringing some Coaches and encouraging tours.  We walked through them.  One was a 2005, with all tile floors (not a Beaver) and quite a few tiles were cracked.  There is also a fellow here with a similar coach.  I asked about the floors in his.  He took his coach to Indiana, to its factory, for frame stiffening, and reported that was a common theme in that brand of coach.  Just wondering if tile everywhere is such a good idea.

David:

Our carpet in the front is dirty again, too soon after cleaning, so we were in Home Depot and Lowes this week looking at laminate to put in.  We have good looking hardwood in the galley, so won't disturb it.  
Did you need to unbolt the front seats?  How did you treat the edges, where they meet the carpeted walls? Did you need to add a molding?
