Many coaches have ceramic tile flooring . Is there something special I need to do to install this kind of flooring in our 2000 Itaska

Thanks for the response Bumpy, I have calculated the weight of the tile,thinset and groute to be approximately 450 pounds and do not believe this to be a problem as it will spread over the entire length of the coach. Am I wrong? My concern was flex cracking.
If your concern is flex cracking, then you do not want to use thin-set. Thinset is a concrete type mix which is great for stick built homes but I would use a flexible acrylic tile adhesive as well as a flexible grout in a coach installation. I have seen tile installed using silicon as the grout which is certainly flexible and available in many colors.
