2008 Cub 236 linoleum Floor Cracked

Yes, this is a common problem with cheap vinyl flooring. It probably would have split even if glued down. Be thankful it's not. Makes it much easier to remove. When mine did that I simply bought some marine carpet at the big box store and cut/fit it over the bad flooring. Cheap, easy to maintain.

Question is, should I glue the replacment floor down? Would it hurt?

Not sure the answer you got was correct...or that my thought is correct, but here we go. I think it's not glued down due to the flexing of the trailer not only during transit, but even set up. If the whole thing is glued down, I think it would pull loose and maybe cause more of a problem. When we toured the FR plant a couple of years ago, they did not glue. You would either glue just around the edges or use a staple gun and then trim molding over that.

My lino cracked as well this winter so I pulled it up this weekend only to find a 24" x 9" rotted area of the floor (could put my finger through it!) but that's another topic.

I've been scouting out the big box home improvement stores for a suitable flooring replacement. At first I thought about doing a laminate floor but this is glorified cardboard with a hard surface, any moisture will cause it to swell. As I have a toyhauler I need the ability to pull wet toys inside if necessary so this is out. Trailers are also prone to leaks...as I'm finding...a leak would destroy a laminate floor in no time. Laminate would probably be a good early indicator that you have a leak!

Then I considered "Allure" vinyl tile flooring which is held together with an overlapping adheasive strip but I was leary of how that would hold together in cold and in transport. I read many reviews that indicate it does not wear well and many people seem to have issues with tiles coming loose in their house. So I think that one is out.

I had a look at some lino type product at Home Depot and it seems much more pliable than the junk in the trailer that cracked. I am tempted to go back to a sheet vinyl product if I can find something that seems a better quality and hopefully more durable in the extreme temperature swings a trailer sees here in Canada.

The only other option I've found is a vinyl type floating floor product that Home Depot has that is only maybe 3mm thick and mechanically locks together like a floating laminate floor would. I was suprised it locked togther mechanically as it is so thin Still, I am concerned about how that would stay together bouncing down the road as well as the weight it adds. I could glue it down but I fear having to do this again and I don't want the hassle of ripping up a glued down floor.

The sheet vinyl seems to still be the best option. I noticed that you can buy non permanent adheasive that I think just provides a tackiness. I've thought about trying that along with the sheet vinyl.

Probably not much help but thought I would share what I'm finding.

To each his own, but personal opinion is that you're probably ahead to replace the lino with lino. If flexes, easily cleans, won't swell up like laminate can and is probably as easy as any to install. Our old camping buddies bought a large piece of carpet for their 19 and cut to fit - sorta. Just could not understand why we didnt' want the same for our 23SS HTT....I didn't care for walking straight in on carpet. Our new TT does have some carpeted areas, but the main walkway and kitchen area is lino and looks very much like ceramic flooring. Another consideration always is the weight.

We had the same issue with a trailer we bought in that condition. I pulled up the split lino which wasn't glued down (easy) and replaced with the alure stick together interlocking product. For us it lasted through 2 canadian winters without issue before we sold the trailer.

I know the product isn't recommended for those kinds of temperature swings but its cheap and may be worth taking a chance.
