There is a very good reason why most, if not all have a one piece vinyl floor installed under everything. Cabinents, carpet, etc. It is to protect the subfloor from water. Water damage can destroy the unit in short order, and this is one of the best ways to defend against it. A spilled drink, a plumbing problem, a vent or window left open, wet footwear etc. are some of the ways that water can enter the interior and get to the subfloor. One really needs to plan for such an occurrence.
Of course flooring splitting is a complete failure... But it is rare. Most all of us have never experienced it.
From what I have read, it usually happens in the winter when a TT is buttoned up for the cold weather. Expansion and contraction cause it.
I think that running some heat in the TT will prevent it. And a good quality vinyl will help as well.
