I am adding a weekender to a Sundowner Value Lite (2003. I have removed the sheet metal on all walls ad would like to remove the floor carpet (original)and take a look at the sub-flooring but I CANNOT get the floor to budge. I suppose it is glued down with super-human-no-removal glue so I am wondering if there is anything I am missing other than just forcing this original sub-floor loose.If I am unable to get it removed, are there any obvious problems with installin a new sub-floor on top of the carpet and then putting my desired flooring down?Help!

Look underneath. If I am not mistaken, they wrapped sheets of plywood with carpet, and layed them in the floor. There oftentimes were screws coming up from the bottom into the wood. And no- you need to make sure and get it out before you install anything else on it. It is over 10 years old already, and wasn't designed to be a LQ floor.

Putting a new floor over carpeting will invite an area that can absorb and hold moisture. This would be a good incubator for mold problems.

If the carpeting isn't installed onto plywood and instead it's glued to the structure, a heat gun can soften the glue enough to rip the carpeting free. As Richard said, look for screws first.

Problem...I can't get the sub-floor up to replace it. I want to remove the original carpeting and replace it with LQ quality flooring. I originally just wanted to remove the carpeting, but can't figure out how to remove it. Suggestions?

are you sure that what you are calling "sub flooring" isnt actually the deck of the trailer? what is it made of?
