The problem with all laminent flooring is the sub straight. It is largely made from some sort of wood by product. And as such is subject to swelling and shrinkage. When it is laid in an RV that is stories in Humid conditions it could become a big problem. Lots of people have installed the vinyl plank flooring with great success instead.
Laminate IS NOT made from a wood product, well at least in the context of "wood." The surface of laminate is melamine resin and the backing material is medium density fiberboard.
Sorry, IT IS A WOOD PRODUCT!! At least according to Wikipedia.
Medium-density fibreboard (MDF) is an engineered wood product formed by breaking down hardwood or softwood residuals into wood fibres, often in a defibrator, combining it with wax and a resin binder, and forming panels by applying high temperature and pressure.
Been in the business too many years to say any different.
While it may be more stable than real wood, it is still a natural product and when exposed to moisture is will attract that moisture and swell. Don't believe me, just leave a piece sitting outside all winter.
