I used my air nailer with 1 1/4" nails. I nailed into the wall since the floor is not tight against the wall. The nailer slightly countersinks the nail heads and I used a colored wood putty to conceal the heads.

I used 1/2" aluminum angle, but then again, that goes with my "theme" interior. I riveted them to the outside skin. Worked well.

I borrowed a finish nail gun and nailed them in where I knew I had the wood available to nail to.

Other places I used Marks idea and used brass screws.

On the bulk head wall when there was going to be quarter round on both sides, I used screws and screwed through the molding on one side of the wall, through the wall and into the molding on the otherside.

To me you can have too much molding, expecially with all the small turns and such. I think it starts to look too busy. So I ended up using the colored caulking around the kitchen and bathroom areas to cut back on the molding a little.

I like the cleaner look of running the floor under all the cabinets, like they did on Vintage Thunder. But I thought you weren't supposed to do that. Guess the expansion expected in such a small place is insignificate enough to ignore.

Thanks. my floor is a bit different. The Gaucho is removed so I have a long section towards the front to put some molding on. It does not make the curve well. SO like you I will have to screw there. I think they still make "finish" screws, small heads. I'll have to visit Home Depot again!

I like your idea on the silicone, I used that in front to the stove and fridge as well as the door. I talked to someone today the put this stuff hard against the wall. not a good idea if you install in the winter. Bowed up in the summer when it expanded.

Man does that look like a neat/clean job! Nice work!

I put my bathroom vinyl flooring in the entrance way, and mitered aluminum to hold it down. Then found a cool floor mat that can be removed and placed outside, or left in place to slow down the flow of dirt in to the trailer.
