Ok... we took our first outing this past weekend, had a blast! CANNOT WAIT FOR MEMORIAL DAY!!! 4 days at the beach... WHOOOOHOOOO!
Came home on Sunday and tore the carpet out

Why? Well... just because... but seriously, it wasn't original, it was a drab, stained brown (discovered it's actual starting color was pink!!!), and carpet just isn't the best surface for camping let alone camping in sandy/beachy places, which is where we will be often. Plus we have two pups.
Question: use of peel and stick?
I know, I know... not the best surface to use but money is tight and we just need something to put down so the weekends can be enjoyed this summer

Plywood underneath looks great, how should we go about treating the plywood to ensure a decent life (1-2 years) of the peel and stick little fellas?
Thoughts, please! Thoughts!
Thanks!
