Looks like ours.
We bought 8 boxes, have opened the 7th and 3 planks to go, plus the entry. If I can figure out how to get the dam photo up, I will post when completed.
Its shrinking the things to fit is the issue. The note8 takes a large pic.

Sometimes if you email the photo to yourself first you can choose it's size Martin.
Or throw it up on your photo album?

Tapatalk manages this on mobile devices Martin... maybe give it a try. It makes forum browsing extremely enjoyable.

Before I used Tapatalk, I used Photo Resize HD for resizing. https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... oresizerhd
There are dozens of similar apps...

We are doing the swagman in a vynil plank, foam backed, waterproof and 30yr life
Easier than woodlaminate, cuts with a stanley if you wish.

Can you tell me who makes it and perhaps where you bought it?

Yep, was the big green shed. Look for the waterproof stuff. If you lay the floor before anything else it should be easier..upside is you do not need a perfect surface to go on.
We have done 3 houses and now 2 motorhomes. This stuff the easiest by far.

Thanks, good information.

Is yours in amongst this lot ?

H Lance,
We looked at the Bunnings stuff (Senso) and looked at the Senso website which was quite clear that it is not recommended for caravans.
Cheers Alan

Hmmm..I wonder why it's not a good thing in vans.
Maybe a little too much flexing in the floor panels......
If that's all it is it wouldn't be a concern for your bus Alan, it's a bit more solid that the average van.

That said, what do bus builders use for floor coverings ?
Perhaps someone on Bus Australia forum could help with that.

I used karndean on the recommendation of a plumber/builder mate. Its a great product

In the pic there is Karndean planks on a wall, marine carpet and some duralite trim, all for your perusal

The Karndean is quite heavy per plank, I recommend a visit to a showroom

Seeing as we aka Gman is getting the bus back into shape and spick and span we got this to do the vinyl planks. PEGULAN. It is good for vinyl, rubber, and linoleum.

I laid about 120 M2 of vinyl planks at home without gluing apart from perimeter double sided tape but before doing so I spread the planks about to acclimatise with the building. After approx 2 years I have a couple of minor gaps. I will point out that the planks were laid against skirting in order to minimise movement.

I used Karndean planks too, very good quality.

I’m not sure Lance, is it the movement in a floor through heating and cooling or have they a problem with shrinkage? But it only seems to be their product.

Thanks for the link, I’ll take a look.
