Hi Ron, Welcome to the forum!!
When we picked up our Montana they had not removed the plastic. So we get to the RV park that night and peel it off. EEE GADS. The carpet under the plastic was yellow. Off to the storage unit, get the big shampooer out and back to the rig. We used the regular cleaner we had used at home and gave the carpet a good cleaning. Worked like a charm. Also got rid of the sticky.
We peeled a corner of the carpet back to see what was underneath. In our rig, it's a yellow foam rubber looking material. Very, very thin. I call it foam rubber, but Bernie says it isn't that high end! We have not had any problems with swelling of the subfloor surface. We also made sure we sucked as much of the water out as possible and then set a small cube fan on the floor in the kitchen to blow across the carpet. Dried quickly. We have had to spot clean a few spots from dirt being brought in, but I just did that with a bowl of water, the carpet cleaner and a rag. So there isn't much water being forced down through the carpet. I will say this. I HATE carpet, but the carpet in our rig cleans suprisingly easy.
