If I was replacing anything in my rig, I'd remove the old stuff first. No sense adding weight on top of useless weight. As for the carpet meeting up with the floor, they should meet, not overlap. I recall using tackboards for the carpet and gluing the vinyl or wood. I'll say no more since I am not an expert, but it's what I've experienced the couple of times I've messed with carpet/wood or carpet/vinyl flooring replacement. There is molding you can end with to finish the seams. I call it molding but I think there's a different word for it.
There have been members who have replaced flooring in their rigs. I hope they post soon.
I would recommend doing this when the temp is NOT -45. Wow, I cannot imagine that. Worse it got around my house was at 30 degrees at night. Right now where I live it's over 81 degrees. Don't everyone all come out here at once. I pay way too much for the comfort and so shall you.
