It is plenty rigid for tile, I just did not want tile. This was a very top of the line motor home when I bought it. A quarter of a mil in 1986, the same kind of motor home today would be three quarter of a mil.

What other options would you like for flooring? Hardwood perhaps?

Not sure how familiar you are with tile, but you can get some pretty fancy crap, and im pretty sure it isnt even ceramic anymore. There was some stuff i was checking out in a flooring store a couple of years ago, and it was insanely priced, 15 some odd dollars A SQUARE FOOT!!!
this summer I am doing counter tops with granite tile with oak edging,not sure yet about the floor

I want to redo the Laminate, but not until I do all of the pex work under the sink, that we were talking about a couple of weeks ago. That's why I want fittings instead of crimp connections. I do not trust the crimps anymore. There just is not enough room in there to properly do hardwood flooring.

You do not want to use Laminate anywhere where there is any chance of a water leak. Kitchens are iffy, all it takes is for a dishwasher line to blow off and your entire floor is instant junk. I learned this the hard way. I put the best Laminate money could buy in about 1/3 of my motor home, within a month a water line blew off under the sink. I fixed it and within 6 months it happened again. This time I've not fixed it yet. I will as soon (if) I start feeling better.
It's not crap, buy Laminate with the pre installed backing, the thicker the better and quit being such a penny pincher.
I agree with most of the above. The bottom line is IF YOU BUY CHEAP YOU'RE GONNA BUY OFTEN. Simple as that.

Trust me, Im not a horrible penny pincher, I just like to watch my money closely! If its something I was gonna do for my home or more importantly my familys home I wouldnt spare anything. But this is for my buds "bachelor pad". I told him to just put new linoleum down in the kitchen area but he insisted on some wood for his starter home...not my house so I cant do too much!
I didnt know that the laminate even came with the stuff pre-installed on them until Brent said anything last night!

Those 6.0s are decent trucks when they're actually runnin.
I spent all morning driving the DRW 6.0 w/service body and it has plenty of power even though it's got a lot of weight on it. It's bone stock and it can put you back into your seat if you mash the go-fast pedal.
Granted I haven't driven a 7.3 on the street so I don't have anything to compare to really, but I don't think the 6.0s are all that terrible.

Good afternoon everyone! Here are a few pictures of me and the kids playing with the quads yesterday. They love them and are bugging me right now to head over to my parents house and ride in the desert. They did so good on them, I am the one who layed one over yesterday. lol. I was playing on my sisters quad and spinning brodies (donuts) and caught the tire on a good sized rock and over it went. I felt it going so I bailed off and laughed so hard my sister though I was crying.
