Hello everyone,
I am about to undertake a complete interior job on my rig. I am good for vinyl and wood but I am very ignorant on the best quality and comfortable carpeting. Does anyone know much if anything about this?
Could someone recommend a good company that produces good carpet??
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance!!
Joe

Also talk to local upholstery shops... They recommended some stuff they use in boats... about $100, but worked and looks great. For glue, I used the glue Home Depot sells for outdoor carpet... That carpet ain't moving - ever.

I used something called Metallic Grey - looks really dark inside, but take it outside, and the silver strands grab the light and make it look light.

tmbrown,
Thanks man, I hadn't thought of trying that. I was gonna have the interior done at a shop over the winter because I will be deploying to the gulf but they want around $3500 and that is without touching the carpet. I figured for that kind of money, I am gonna give it a shot for myself first. I have the tools and a garage fridge full of cold beer. It should come out fine... I will post as it goes down..
Thanks again for the input.
Joe

That's seems just a lil high, but still in the range... I paid $2,500 for mine... he did a little bit of carpet, but I'd done most... but he had no templates to follow for mine - it was 100% custom built seating (I did provide the foam though and any carpet he needed).

Sounds fun - good luck on the project, and in the gulf...
