X2 on no Pergo. What every you do choose, get a small sample and stick it in a glass of water for a month. If it doesn't swell up, then it is a consideration. Specifically my neighbor installed Pergo. Water spilled on it, ran over the edge, and wicked under the floor. This caused the floor to swell up, and eventually buckle. A motorhome is very vulnerable to mishaps. This means the products you use must be water proof, and much more durable than what is required for a stick house.
many many people put laminates in their MH and with good success.ALL laminates and even hardwoods if stuck in a jar of water will swell and ruin. I have done two motorhomes in whats called vinyl planking
looks great and water proof 100%.You need a nice smooth surface to lay it and its hand glued so takes some work.Cuts easy and easy o fit in tight spots.Having done laminates,hardwoods and Vinyl planking
the latter is my choice overall.I installed hardwood in one slideout as i posted earlier and now i wish I would have just done the Vinyl.Much cheaper,lighter in slide weight,easier install and water proof and more scratch resistant
