Is it possible to replace the carpet of a trailer/motorhome by yourself without calling on professionals?
yes, but you need to be patient. you need to remove all the screwstrips around the perimeter of the carpet. Use the old carpet as a pattern to cut the new carpet... there will be many cuts... be careful.
Yes, I just did 4 rooms in a mobile home.
I have done it and it's not an easy job, but you can save yourself a TON of money. We carpeted our 2-bedroom and living room rental trailer for $365. We bought the carpet from Lowes and installed ourselves. If your handy you can do it!
laying carpet is not an easy thing. You need tools that are made for laying carpet. The carpet iron, for one for seaming pieces together. You also need a knee kick or a carpet stretcher. The hardest part about laying carpet in a mobile home, is that most mobile homes actually lay carpet before they put the wall in. So your walls are actually on top of the carpet. So you will have to cut the carpet completely out. Then lay tack strips down to catch the new carpet you are putting in......I would call the professionals!
