Replace carpet with laminate
We camp in the Florida Keys a lot and have 2 small dogs. Has anyone replaced a lot of their carpet with laminate flooring? The unit is 10 years old and carpet getting rough.

I am in the process of replacing most of the carpet in our 5th wheel. In during research I think you will discover that laminate is not a good choice as it swells with moisture. I can say that is true as the laminate in our bedroom got wet and swelled / buckled.
Most advise using the vinyl plank flooring as it is moisture resistant. Also to use the click lock method over the glue strips.
I am using this product from Home Depot.

Hope this helps!

I agree with Dave. Our kids were doing a renovation this summer, and some rain got down the exposed chimney in their house and onto their laminate flooring. Lots of bubbling of the flooring, though a quick clean and our dry climate helped to limit the issue. YMMV... Personally, I'd prefer the vinyl over laminate in an RV any day.
