Tips on carpeting install: - once the carpet is cut, just before installing it, use a propane torch or such, to singe and lightly the melt the cut edges, as it will keep it from fraying later - use a can of spray paint to spray the edges from the BACK-side of the carpet(use a fast-drying paint) to mask the discoloured edges (I used black paint on my gray/black carpet and it came out real nice) - use the EXTRA-STRONG adhesive if you want to ensure it will stick forever - cut extra pieces to create foot mats for outside the tent trailer/tent to help keep them clean (also hand for kneeling on during roadside repairs) - carpeting the inside of the top of the trailer, adds a certain amount of luxury to the trailer, as well as it helps protect the roof from the inside.
