I am purchasing a 1976 Newmar Kountry Aire that I will be renovating in order to live in it full time. The floors are a current mix of carpet and linoleum.What I want: High Gloss pure white epoxy floorThe problems: The epoxy won't bond to the wood subfloor, plus all the sunshine will yellow it. I could paint, then cover that with a polyurethane seal- but ANY imperfections in the subfloor will be highlighted. I am not sure if I should try ripping up the linoleum or just cover it, and then how to make it a smooth level with the subfloor sections that were carpeted.Is there a way for me to get those high gloss floors? Is there a reason in an RV I should avoid solid slab like flooring (like floating laminate works best because it flexes and xyz unlike a slab of concrete that will crack and make me cry)? Should I let go of the dream of High Gloss white floors and rework my whole design? Can I do a thin set of concrete? (I am pretty sure you can buy white concrete, then I could seal it, but how will that handle the shock and vibration of driving?)Google has not been much help in finding out how to get a really smooth plywood subfloor. Any advice would be much appreciated. I need some help thinking outside the box on flooring solutions.If it matters as to WHY my heart is set on those floors: They will reflect light quite merrily, they will provide a lovely canvas for my handmade rugs, I am making cabinets out of foam board and covering in a thin coating of concrete (at least I think this will work). So I am really excited about the juxtaposition between the high gloss floors and the rough matte grey of the concrete, the palest mint green wall paint imaginable, and white hexagon tile backsplash in the kitchen area. (Not sure what to do with the countertops though). And if I have to go with some sort faux wood or faux stone laminate on the floor, I think the whole design will fall apart.
