Any good replacements for carpet in westy living area?

Usually I'm too fond of wooden Westy floors, but yours looks great - maybe it just the darker color. My Weekender has a vinyl floor of sorts (factory) - I like it so much better than carpet. I keep a whisk broom in the side of the jump seat and I can sweep it out in a heartbeat.

7 years later - does anyone have a good solution to the original posters question? I'd love to find a replacement that is like the original, rubber backed carpet.

From what I'm seeing being sold from vendors and suggested on this thread - the answer still seems to be "no".

But hoping that someone out there has found a good replacement that is like the original and is willing to share.

Can’t point you, but maybe look at the marine or RV industry. Our 82 has the original brown carpet. I can’t think of a worse flooring for camping. Fortunately prior to buying it, previous owners had always protected it. Before our maiden voyage, purchased the rubber mats from Go Westy. As long as the dogs water bowl doesn’t flip over, it really is the best solution for camping. The little boxes catch sand, crumbs etc. If it starts looking dirty, it lifts out easily and can be shaken out.

(I do hate the nasty yellow colored carpet in my '86 tho...)

since I like to be able to kneel to retrieve items from the interior.

we run the Woodgrain look foam puzzle mat over our carpet.
we get a few years of hard camper use out of it.. it does eventually sunfade. but the dogs claws will mark it after a few years too anyways.

Dark gray carpet from Brickwerks.co.uk. Nicely made and appears to wearing well. Inexpensive.
