Roger,
When I carpeted my 26' Eleganza last year, I made up a rough diagram. I
won't guarantee these figures, but:

1. Width of cockpit and top step riser: 90"
2. Engine hatch: 30"W X 35"L
3. (Middle) step from floor : 9 1/2" riser, 10" tread
4. Top step riser to cockpit floor: 11" high
5 Bottom step riser to rear end of couch/bunk 66" (Bunk overlaps bottom
step)
6. Couch to far wall under dinette at floor level: 61"
7. couch to dinette seats (aisle width) 26"
8. Kitchen cab. base to door 62" (Kitch cabinet base is
1" further left than couch base.)
9. Kitch. cab. base to refrigerator base cab. 34"
10. Kitch. cab/wardrobe to bathroom base (aisle) 26"
11. Rear aisle width (gen. housing to h2o tank) 26" (Offset to right of main
aisle)

I don't have wall-to-wall at floor level as carpet doesn't go there.
Would be a scoshe less than 90". Adding up my figures, the dinette overlaps
the step by 10", + 14" + 27" footwell, + 24" rear seat, for ~75" total
length. Width is approx. 61"- 26" = 35" at floor level, slightly more at
cushion level. As noted above, the sofa bed is approx. 66" + 10" long.
(Actual cushion slightly less.) Width is approx. 90" - 61" - ~1"(for curve
of rt. side) = ~28" wide.
Again adding my figures down the right side, total aisle length from step
riser to rear of coach is approximately: 14" (frt dinette seat), + 27"
(dinette footwell), + 24" (rear dinette seat), + 28" (entry way), + 32"
(refrigerator), + 48" (bath), + 48" (rear bedroom) = 221". (Not sure if that
included the little angled bit at the very rear, which I think may add ~5".)

HTH.

Gene, We recarpeted our 75PB, with everything our except galley cabinets and
refrigerator. I used 23 yards, no seams and ran it from front to back, even
had pieces left to bind for mats

Would someone recommend a good carpet and the quantity used to recarpet a
77PB? To do it without seams I have heard 19 yds. and 24 yds. would be
required.

Also, forgot to tell you I had enough carpet to do all the pieces under the
furniture that was previously covered with original carpet, including sofa,
dinette, rear seats
