Replace Vinyl Floor

Question

Guess the this winter in northern VT was bad since when I just opened up our 7 year old 26' Springdale TT I found 5 floor splits all at the heating floor registers. Each split is from 2-4". First winter we did not head south in a few years. Need some advice about "easy" floor replace as a DIYer. Has anyone used flooring self-stick tiles as a flooring replacement? Will they not stick properly due to travel flexing and cold storage if we do not go to Florida this winter? What options are there besides vinyl flooring and experience with each? Thanks.

I did Allure free floating floor from Home Depot and it was easy. I removed the old and placed the new in a day and a half. Simple.

I did Allure sticky strips but others have also used snap lock with good results. Note that the Allure is not recommended for RV use but I have had it in my rig which was in the mountains of AZ where it frequently got 0 or below and now here in FL where it gets hotter than the gates of hell. It is holding up beautifully.

easiest thing to do would be to cutout each register hole a little bit larger and then replace the registers with larger ones

I used Allure in my stick and brick in the utility room where the washer and dryer are located. The floor is generally holding up well after two years use, but there is some minor separation at the glue strips caused most likely by the constant vibration of the machines. My 5er would probably shake that floor even more then the washing machines-and then there are the temperature extremes. Hope that helps.

I used Allure free floating floor .. took up the old carpet and put a coat of water sealer on wood before applying the Allure.  Not a great DIY and if I can do it anyone can - just buy a spare box in case you make a goof .. no big deal and not expensive.
