Anne:
The PO installed cork floors in our trailer and we are very happy with it. It is holding up well to the pea gravel found on many state park campsites and the sand from Assateague. As to the existing carpet, I would not just pull out what is needed for the new floor, I would pull it all out that I could. It hides leaks. Heck they even have carpet under the water pump...duh. I guess they carpet the whole thing then install cabinets etc. One main area that leaks on our type of trailers (as yours is identical to mine) is the rear trunk area. Again a carpeted area that hides leaks, I discovered my rot after we purchased the trailer. On ours and many other models water runs in to the rear floor between the body/rub rail and the rear bumper cover. I ran a bead of caulk between the bumper cover and the body and the leaking has stopped, at least for now. This has gone on for years and the fine folks at AS have only very recently worked on a fix. When / if you pull the carpet up, just be prepared (hopefully without cause) for the potential of finding other water leaks in the flooring.
