I have a tear in my linoleum floor.
No apparent water damage.
Two questions is this a fairly common occurrence?
How hard is it to replace?
Sometimes with certain tears in vinyl flooring you can repair them with a kit sold with glue and a roller. You can find these at HD and Lowes. But they are not often successful.
The factory in my case put a cut in the vinyl flooring when they must have installed the original carpeting so I have one of those too.
As for replacing it, Vinyl flooring is easy to replace but you have to decide how to hold it down. The flooring in your trailer is put down over the entire floor then cabinets and all else is built on top of it (typically) usually it is not glued down, at least mine is not.
You can glue it down and you will have to add mouldings all around. You could also cut out the accessible parts of the flooring and put the new down on the exposed sub floor.
The reason I decided to put new carpet down was the pros and cons of replacing the vinyl and or putting down some sort of "Pergo" type floor, which I decided against because of uncertainty if it's height with my slide.
Hope this helps.
