Fiver-Replacing flooring

Going to replace the carpet in the main area on our 07 Newmar Cypress with Pergo 10mm laminate or Tarkett engineered hickory hardwood Checked on past posts,but am looking for more recent installations,issues etc.I,M wondering if the laminate being a floating floor will take the abuse of 2 very heavy slides coming in and sitting on it as opposed to the engineered floor having a solid base.Whats your experience?

    First of all, be careful of the weight. I replaced carpet and linoleum (141 pounds) with all sheet vinyl even on the slides. I did not add any weight. If I would have replaced with the panels, I would have added 500+ pounds. Second, you can use strips of lexon to protect the new floor when you retract the room slides. Thanks
