I installed sheet vinyl in my first house. That was a pain. You have to make the cuts long and then trim it to fit. Really hard but it looked good. Then a month later a chair fell over and cut it. The puppy found the tear and that was that. No more floor. Start over! Replaced that with ceramic tile but that a lot of weight in a RV and RV's move!
A while back I installed Alure in my new house. 6 months later the seams opened up and after one year it went to the dump. JUNK! Never again!
I installed top of the line Pergo (in the house) in it's place and it's been great. So much so that I installed the same floor in the RV. Looks good and really happy with it.
I didn't glue or screw it anywhere so it floats. Used 1/4 round all around the edges that matched. I expect it to last the life of the RV and if somehow it gets damaged, I have some extra pieces so it can be repaired. It comes apart if you need to replace a piece.
Note that Pergo now makes a waterproof product as well. It's hard and will wear out some saw blades.
If you're handy, it's a DIY and easier that sheet vinyl. Lasts forever!
