Hi
What type of flooring do you have in your caravans, people have different views and ideas on this matter as some say not to use kitchen carpet as it is water resistant and the wood underneath can not breath but a lot of people are now using tiles, we have good old fashioned carpet but under that is the original thin sheet of what looks like lino

Hi
You mention "allowing the wood to breath", originally Lino had and still has a canvas type backing which might have that ability, modern vinyl flooring may not be as suitable under carpet.

I have a product called 'marmoleum', it's a modern version of the old Lino. Breathes, no nasty chemicals in the product either.
See you at Strumpshaw soon? (Bayliss Thomas. David).

Yum yum, sounds good, I will bring the beer/wine. Be great to see you both again.
Still running around in my old Vauxhall with the Eccles providing accommodation. Although I have put the Eccles up for sale now. My new tag is only because of technical problems and logging in.
