Jim,
I do not know about the roads you travel, but many I have traversed would simply shake the texture off of the walls of the RV!! (Think I-10 East of Lake Charles, LA.) It is my opinion that an RV with all the movement of the structure need a covering that is well & truly fastened securely.
Just as a note, when I pulled up the carpeting in the present rig to lay manufactured OAK TIG flooring, there must have been 10,000 staples in the carpet to hold it down & in-place. It never moved or bunched-up, just became well worn after several cleanings. We love the wood flooring, but the rollers for the slide have made a discoloration on the surface. When I polish & clean the floor, most does come up, but not all - I guess I don't work at it enough. But it is under a throw rug, so no big deal.
