I ve been involved in rving for over 50 years including camping building repairing and even selling rvs and motorhomes.
Wet carpet in my rv.
If i cleaned the entire rig at once how would i keep wyatt from laying on the wet carpet.
Campgrounds are full of this annoying stuff called dirt.
And now i have the odor of pet urine that no matter how hard i scrub by hand wet vac specific cleaner s the odor remains.
First park your rv.
So we thought the worst.
Another way to identify it is by looking for black blue green or white stains on your rv walls carpet or other flooring.
My other interests include cooking living with an aging dog and dealing with diabetic issues.
Then it came to me.
What could be the cause of wet carpet in my rv.
First the bedroom then the living room.
Commercial carpet shampoo can also help remove a wet carpet smell.
I would deep clean our rv carpet one room at a time.
We confirmed there was no plumbing leak and were stumped as to how the carpet got wet so we went into troubleshooting mode.
Use a commercial carpet shampoo if the smell persists.
But it could have also been coming from the bathtub since that was right above.
This is simply not compatible with the way most rvs are used to camp in campgrounds.
I used a baby gate to keep him off the damp carpet until it was dry.
Tap the carpet over the tack strip and stretch with a carpet stretcher as well.
The best way to clean carpet in an rv products used in this video.
And if that wasn t bad enough the stress of new surroundings and the movement of the rv was more than my dogs could handle and one of my larger dogs relieved himself.
I do all of my own repair work.
Here are my thoughts on rv carpet.
Cleaning day arrived and i realized i had a challenge.
I ve owned used and repaired almost every class and style of rv ever made.
The other side of the wall inside the storage compartment with our freshwater tank was also wet.
It can be found at your local grocery store or online.
Remove the old carpet and padding as before and then install a line of tack strip and lay the new carpet padding and carpet.
Follow the directions on the shampoo s packaging which will likely direct you to vacuum the carpet first.
Most rvs come with cheap rv carpet installed in the bedroom slides and cab area.
Open the slide out slightly so that the floor is raised a little higher than the main floor.
