Remember a room in a house may be 20 feet or more across. So a floor that expands and contracts over 20 feet will have a lot more stress on the joints that a floor that is only 8 feet wide. Maybe that's why nobody has reported problems with it.
This makes a lot of sense to me. I recently asked on this forum about flooring choices for replacing the bedroom carpet in the MH. Allure was brought up as a choice.
I went to Home Depot in Mesa, AZ to look at Allure. I immediately realized that the standard Allure was not for me. I asked the flooring guy at HD about Allure, and he gave the Arizona party line about it not holding up in high temps.
A buddy of mine who was a house builder put Allure Ultra in his MH a couple of years ago. They are full timers and he reports no issues. He used a silicon based adhesive to hold down the flooring. He said that he reasoned the silicon would give with vibration and temp changes.
I'll post how the install goes in a couple of months.
