How to Make Custom Motorhome or Caravan Carpet Templates

• Template Material: Heavy-duty paper, craft paper, masking paper, or clear plastic sheeting.
• Tape: Masking tape or painter's tape (easy to remove and won't leave residue).
• Marker or Pencil: For tracing and marking.
• Scissors or Utility Knife: To cut the template material.
• Measuring Tape: To verify dimensions.

• Clean the Floor: Remove the old carpet (if possible) and any debris to get a clear working area.
• Flatten Surfaces: Ensure the floor is as flat as possible to get accurate measurements.

• Paper Options: Use heavy-duty or kraft paper that's large enough to cover the floor area.
• Plastic Sheeting: Clear plastic allows you to see the floor beneath, which can be helpful for alignment.

• Position the Material: Lay the paper or plastic flat on the floor, covering the entire area where the new carpet will go.
• Secure in Place: Use small pieces of tape to hold the material steady.

• Start Tracing: Use your marker or pencil to carefully trace the exact outline of the floor onto the template material.
• Include All Details: Mark any fixtures, vents, seat bases, and curved areas.
• Double-Check: Ensure all edges and corners are accurately traced.

• Labels: Write notes directly on the template to indicate front, back, left, and right sides.
• Cutouts and Holes: Clearly mark any areas that require cutouts, such as for table legs or appliances.
• Seams and Joins: If the carpet will need to be in sections, indicate where seams should be placed.

• Measure Key Areas: Use your measuring tape to check dimensions of critical points (widths, lengths, distances between fixtures).
• Note Measurements: Write these measurements on the template for reference.

• Carefully Cut: Use scissors or a utility knife to cut along the traced lines.
• Fit Test: Place the cut template back onto the floor to ensure it fits perfectly.
• Adjust if Necessary: Make any needed adjustments for accuracy.

• Inspect for Accuracy: Double-check all edges, curves, and marked features.
• Consolidate Pieces: If your template is in multiple pieces, tape them together securely.

• Work Slowly: Take your time to ensure precision.
• Use Clear Labels: Clearly label all sides and features to avoid confusion.
• Avoid Stretchable Materials: Do not use materials that can stretch or distort, like thin plastic bags.
• Keep It Clean: Avoid using dirty or greasy materials that can stain.y.

 Preparing for Shipment

• Roll, Don't Fold: Rolling the template prevents creases and maintains accuracy.
• Secure the Roll: Use tape or rubber bands to keep the template rolled up.
• Protective Packaging: Place the rolled template in a sturdy tube or box.
