Carpet, well not many positives there so I'll leave it alone.
I like glued down engineered wood. I would also glue in-between the joints to make it highly water-resistant. I installed this in my home and a couple years later had a pipe break and flood the floor. We though for sure the floor was ruined. Fast forward 4 years and still the floor looks beautiful with ZERO water damage. I attribute this to the fact that the wood was engineered and I glued both the wood to the floor and the joints.
Since you have an RV and are going over a wood substrate I would first install a water barrier and install over that.
Good luck!
tile weight makes no difference in a DP nowadays.factorys have it now as standard flooring.Todays tiles do not chip or crack like the old days with special underlays and the new super thinsets available
all mid to upper end Class A All use tile flooring.Engineered hardwood is cheap flooring and marks very easy and hard to repair it
you don't see it coming from the factory.some people use it to repair old units which works well
