Some random thoughts: at least 15 years ago, I installed peel-and-stick "oak" vinyl planks in our (house) bathroom, I think they were made by Congoleum; and they have endured all these years and still look nice.
Last year, we had Home Depot's "Life proof" vinyl planks installed in our condo - one of the things I noticed was that they didn't have to be "acclimatized" by sitting inside for a few days before installation. Implies to me that they don't shrink or expand as much as other flooring? The drawback is the thickness of each plank - they are at least 1/4" thick, which might interfere with a slideout.
Last thought: depending on whether the RV is a trailer or MH, there could be uneven heat sources (like exhaust pipes) under the floor. I saw a converted van, whose owner has installed vinyl "coin flooring" and it bubbled up where it was laid over the cat. converter.
I agree , 1/4" might be an issue , but as far as going over that 1/4" , I don't think in my case it would be an issues , there is actually a raised portion just as the slide goes over into the flooring, and that 1/4" would actually be below that slightly. As far as the slide out goes there is enough movement in them 1/4" raised up as it goes in, I wouldn't think its an issue. The rollers on a hard surface is the only issue, and those slickers can cure that. Although that laminate flooring is much tougher then that cheap linoleum they put in a lot of RV's
