Background:
My 2006 Jayco 31BHS TT is in Wesley Chapel, which is just North of Tampa (~10 miles), under a 'shelter' that I made using black iron fire sprinkler pipe for vertical posts (and horizontal wall brace to secure roof to on sides, along with across floor), fence top rail for roof rafters and bracing and fittings with a tarp (30' x 30' is my guess, have to look it up) as a roof, extending down about 4' on the sides.
No side walls enclosed. I have 24" (I think, been a long time) augers to hold it to ground.
(Yes, it has with stood high winds and a hurricane, probably due to the pipe framing, gusset braces and bungee straps allowing a bit of give. I have to replace the tarp about every 5 years)
Central FL, HOT and humid. I do have vent covers and keep vents open year round. The air condition or furnace is only used when we are using the TT, none while in storage.)
I bought this TT so I could take my son and his friends (bunk house sleeps 10) camping and such. Young men, that were about 15 YO back then. Swimming, falling out of canoes and boats, fresh water, salt water, wet, sandy, etc. Carpet is NO GOOD for this...
I bought the cheapest plank type flooring that HD had in stock that was simulated oak look. (If I needed to replace it due to their abuse, no biggie, were my thoughts....)
I left a gap around edges that was covered by trim. I screwed the table floor plates down (Dining table and table between bunks in the back) as they were originally and maybe some other items, no sure as it has been some years.
Bottom line, floor still looks good and has held up fine...
YMMV
Good luck
Note- the hardest part was getting the carpet from under the slide out (it seems that it was stapled...) I glued some strips of nylon at the wall to allow slide out to glide and not dig into flooring. It works!
