Has anyone done this or know why they say not to install in an RV?
I think the reason is that vinyl expands and contracts a good bit with changes in temperature. This is why the direction say keep a 3/8 gap at all perimeters, so it could shift. The movement of the rig might cause it also. That being said, what I have in my new Jayco appears to be vinyl flooring, although it might be a wood composite. I'm sure some guys here have installed vinyl in their rigs and I haven't heard any bad things.
