The problem with screwing or nailing vinyl planking is that most manufacturers expect this flooring to be installed in temperature controlled environment with a 10° temp range. When you put it down in a motor home and subject it to a 60 - 100° temp swing, things tend to expand and contract beyond design limits.
When I put down the Allure, I got the grip strip version that has adhesive strips on all 4 sides. I didn't screw anything through the vinyl into the subfloor. I cut around all penetrations (pax seat, TV cabinet, couch legs) and didn't nail the trim to the floor.
