Ford E‑150, E-250, E-350 & E-450 Carpet & Vinyl Replacement Guide: For Vans, Fleets & Class B RVs
June 10, 2025
Upgrading the flooring in your Econoline Super Duty isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about comfort, cleanliness, and longevity. Whether you’re restoring a fleet vehicle, church van, or even a Class B RV conversion, choosing the right carpet or vinyl flooring replacement will pay off for years to come.
🛠️ Why Replace Your Ford E‑Series Super Duty Van or Class B RV Carpet?
- Eliminates odors and wear from years of use or water intrusion
- Boosts resale value, especially in recreational or commercial vehicles
- Improves thermal and sound insulation, especially important in RV and shuttle use
- Enables easy maintenance and increased durability with vinyl or upgraded backing
🚐 Compatible with Class B RVs
Many Class B RVs (such as Pleasure-Way, Roadtrek, Coachmen, or custom builds) are built on the Ford E-Series chassis, sharing the same cab dimensions and floorpan as the Ford E‑150, E‑250, E-350 and E‑450.
That means Factory Interiors’ carpet and vinyl kits designed for the E‑350 are a perfect fit for the cab area of most Class B RVs using the E-Series front section.
Ideal Areas for Installation in RVs:
- Driver and passenger area carpet or vinyl replacement
📏 Regular vs Extended Length Ford Vans
The Ford Econoline vans come in two primary body lengths:
- Regular Length: Shorter overall length, typically seats up to 8–12 passengers
- Extended Length: Longer rear cargo area, fits 12–15 passengers or offers more room for equipment/storage
When selecting your flooring kit, it’s important to choose the correct length based on your van's configuration. Extended-length vans require longer floor coverage for the rear section.
