Airdaddy,
Sorry it took a while for me to reply, I was away for a long weekend, wrestling with Henri, my own TT (travel trailer).
- First when laying the floor after cleaning the sub floor do you take out the interior and install the floor and then reinstall the interior or lay the floor and cut around the interior?
You'll see if you read a couple of threads, that it can be done either way. People do it both ways with good results.
- Second when laying the floor do you lay the floor side to side or front to back.
Same answer as your first question.
- Third when laying the floor do you install or lay a pad under the flooring?
I think you need to have a smooth floor to get good results, but unless the material you use absolutely requires it, it's a toss-up for you to decide again. Keep in mind you want to keep additional weight to a minimum.
- Also do you use any glue in the install?
I wouldn't unless again, it's absolutely required. Your trailer will go through temperature extremes through the seasons of the year, depending on where you live. A floating floor will let you get through those with less problems, IMHO.
The flooring you are putting in looks fabulous. Keep us informed as you go along!
