I like having some carpet under my bare feet and mine is looking quite "shaggy". It may be time to think of replacement.

We put down a short loop nylon carpet like you'd find in an office. It is stretched and stapled around the edges with silver "grip strips" at the galley and bathroom. No pad was used.
The old carpet had to be cut away from the bed and cabinets where they were installed after the original carpet was laid. This was half of the job's time.
I called a highly respected RV repair shop (they don't sell RVs) and got the name of their installer. This is most important -
get someone who has done trailers before and WANTS to do yours. (My carpet seller's installers wanted no part of the job.) Jerome has been doing RVs for over 20 yrs and took 3.5 hours to do the whole thing from start to finish. I was his go-fer, hauling scraps and handing tools as needed.
Not only does the Taj look new, it smells new.
Carpet = $237 for a 12X12
Labor = $400 (and worth every penny)
I say go for it - you won't be sorry.
