    Where/how are you finding this? Is it bubbled somewhere or somehow damaged? Does it need a repair somewhere? Cuts and patches can be done by using seam sealer. Best to let a pro. floor layer do this.

    Sheet flooring is not glued down onto the subfloor. They staple the flooring around the outside perimeter only and build everything on top of it. It does make for easy removal if you ever need to say as when installing laminate plank flooring.

    Found the same to be true in our fifth wheel when we replaced some flooring...not the way it's done in houses, but not a surprise.
  • I removed our vinyl and carpet last fall vinyl was not glued just stapled around the edges.
  • Sometimes they have what they refer to as a "Floating Floor" which means it's NOT stuck down to the floor. Had that in my last trailer.
  • Describe the issue exactly. Normally the sheet flooring is only adhered around the edges, not in the center.
  • Depending upon the type of flooring, I'd probably fix it myself.

    Is the flooring linoleum (one sheet, coming up at the edges), or individual tiles coming up? Or is it something else?

    Having done my fare share of home remodeling over the last 45 years of my life, I'd figure out a way to fix it myself, whatever kind of flooring it is. (but that's just me).
  • Had it repaired at dealer last year. It is worse now. Only response I get from keystone is take to dealer.
