Question on Smart Tiles or Flex Tiles for TT
We are thinking we will install a tile back splash in our new Coachmen Apex TT. We have looked at the Smart Tiles and were not really impressed with the thickness / look. We found another product call...

The Flex Tile is bog standard ceramic tile and the seller offers silicone adhesive as the mastic and grout. If you visit your local big box store, you can buy the same tile and adhesives that will do the job just as well. When grouting, use a latex admixture so that the grout stays stable.
FWIW, I have about 100 sf of tile in my TT, surrounding my furnace and in the entry area. I used non-glazed double'fired tile but any good cuality tile will work. The trick of tiling any area in an RV is: a stable sub-structure, mastic that will not break loose, grouting with latex admixture.
I see alot of RV'ers choosing the plastic sheet tile and they report good results. I used sheet copper for my stove backsplash for looks, endurance, easy cleanup, and I had some in stock. With a metal backsplash, there will be no worries about adhesion and it is a lot easier to keep clean with my frying skills.
