Carpet be better for sound and heat insulation,, just gotta be vacuumed. Use a centre runner that can be taken outside.

If it was mine I would carpet it; motor homes are very noisy on the road, and very cold to sleep in at night!

I never thought about the noise side of it, that is a good point, it was bad enough when it had carpet. i think i might have won this battle thanks for the suggestions so far

i would think a wooden floor would be a nightmare to install. its all going to move and possible buckle in the heat and vibration unless its perfect. lino/vinyl. think condensation and walking on it in the morning.
carpet would be good especially with think underlay or rubber mat underneath to reduce sound etc.

Rubber matt thats removable can be hosed down when taken outside. Easy install.

You can have the best of both worlds - Cork Tiles - In standard form they look a bit naff, but they are available in a range of tinted colours and look quite sharp. Warm, quiet and soft to walk on, plus they're an easy DIY.

When we had our caravan I found that it depended on where we camped. Yes carpet is warmer but it can get very dirty very fast. If we were camping in a sandy area I found that carpet takes the sand off your feet and you dont get sand in the bed. From experiance I would go for vinyl with a removable carpet on top,

We have a camper wiith a hard floor and a removable carpet.
The idea of cork tiles appeals, along with removable mats.
