I am in the middle of installing flooring in our coach. I literally just came in for a glass of water. We decided on five-inch Pergo strip laminate, full floating. Looks like real wood from a foot away.
On our previous Foretravel coach (Hey Brett!!), I installed laminate that looked like tile and it came out amazing. I used a combination of methods for it - floating, glued, nailed - because the coach had a variety of hatches and an interior step, and some short pieces that needed to be stabilized.
I looked at the cork. I was able to scratch it with my thumbnail, so I decided it would not be compatible with our dogs. I was surprised, and I hope and think other styles of cork flooring are more scratch resistant. I like the idea of the cork - it is a nice earth tone, but won't clash with the wood shades of the cabinetry.
I would think a tile floor would add a good 1000 pounds to a coach. Our coach has a tiled section, but it is thinner than the usual residential stuff.
