We installed Allure in 96 2 bedroom townhouses @ 2009/10 which were rental units, at the request of the property owner. This was during a complete interior remodel of the entire property, and despite our recommendation not to use it.
All of it failed within a year after installation as the end joints of the individual pieces opened up from shrinkage. The property owner went to war with Home Depot who at first resisted, and eventually agreed to replace the material but not the labor. Good for us as we were paid to remove and replace........1100 sq ft X 96.
The second round failed also. Consistent climate control both times within mfgr specs. You get what you don't pay for and that stuff is cheap garbage as is most of the in house brand flooring at the big boxes. It may work well for a doghouse or an outhouse, or something.

Nothing wrong with gluing down flooring, the RV mfgs mostly skip this step by overlaying fixtures and walls. Fastening with conventional nails/staples may not be good in an RV, possibly too much subfloor movement.

Ralph,
So what would you recommend for wooden flooring? Is there something that is heat resistant (I have electric heated carpets).

Why can’t you accept the manufacturers response, who manufactured the product?

What I did for my travel trailer: Bought one of the cheaper vinyl laminated composite planks from Lumber Liquidators, on sale. It is 8MM thick, IIRC. Used a very high grade underlayment underneath the plank.
The problem with 8mm plus underlayment is the clearance for the slide to go in/out. We are looking at the vinyl planking at HD, Lowes and Costco, they are all in the 3.8 - 4.3 mm range.

I have used laminate snap together flooring but Allure looks to be so much more simple to install, thought I would like to hear from someone who actually has to find out how temps have actually affected it. I did read what the manufacturer said but wanted first hand perspective.
