Anyone replaced the vinyl flooring?

I have a question regarding the replacement of vinyl flooring. Do you glue it down or just staple the edges?

I ask because most RV's have their vinyl flooring placed on the subfloor before the walls are installed. This locks the vinyl flooring in place. If you cut out the flooring to replace it, what is used to keep it in place? I know that in residential applications vinyl flooring is secured with an adhesive.

Just wondering what others have done and if it has held up.

Thanks for the assistance.

    The screw head that poked through mine? Was a screw where the subfloor was attached to the joist. Was installed at an angle and not all the way in. Another Keystone feature.

    Our new Windjammer came with a vinyl product called Beau Floor. Looks like wood, but you can get it wet. We like it so far.
