    i already have that very same laminate in my van ! Alas i will be removing it because i find it too slippery and don't want to risk causing myself serious injury when miles away from help ! assuming i am able to call for help ! i am going to fit flotex carpet tiles instead being waterproof and easy to clean or replace ! good vid though bud !carry on !

      Doesn’t matter which way you lay laminate in a van, just personal preference. If it were in a house you’d lay the floor the way the room flows - to make it feel bigger and draw your eye either length ways or width ways. Depends on which way the room is bigger. Does this make sense!?

    Buy a jigsaw fella and looks like lots of straight butt joints rather than offset? You should always stagger the rows.

    Am I missing something here? Where's the "How to" part of this video? Showing something in time lapse isn't the same as demonstrating or explaining what you're doing. With the camera above and behind you, the specifics of what you were doing were obscured a lot of the time. Congrats on the install, but this is not a "how to" video.
