How to Fix Dull RV Tile Floors After Carpet Cleaning Damage

Nobody wants to drop $3,000+ on new RV tile flooring just because a carpet cleaning company claims some dull spots are "permanently damaged. Just had the carpets professionally cleaned in our 2015 Newmar BayStar 3401, and somehow the beautiful shine on our tile floors got completely ruined in the process. The areas right along the carpet edges are now dull and cloudy - they look absolutely terrible compared to how glossy they used to be.

I've tried applying Bona floor polish like I normally do for maintenance, but these damaged spots just won't take the shine anymore. It's like something either stripped the original finish or left some kind of residue that's blocking new polish from adhering properly. Has anyone dealt with this nightmare before? I really need to know what caused this and if there's any way to actually fix it without replacing the flooring entirely. …more

RV Window Water Leak Repair Guide - DIY Solutions

Between the excitement of buying our RV two months ago and our first Arizona rainstorm, I discovered the previous owner left every window leaking like a sieve. I discovered wet carpet around the passenger seat area that has a musty smell. The dampness is directly below our sliding window, and I can see some wallboard swelling at the bottom right corner of the window frame. What's puzzling me is that the exterior window seals look fine, and there's no visible water damage on the inside wall surface. Could this be water running down inside the window frame itself? I'm wondering if blocked window drains could cause this issue. We're on a tight budget - is this something I can tackle myself by re-caulking, or do I need professional help? I'd rather avoid dealer costs if possible. …more
