Who has replaced MH carpet with tile?

After 14 years it's time to replace our MH carpet. Our floor is both tile and carpet. Floating laminate floor, not glued down makes me nervous. Are there any major issues about just removing the carpet and replacing it with a complimentary tile? Wood grain if I can find one. Do we need anything over the wood floor? Special tile cement?

The problems I've seen with tile floor are all related to vibration; cranking tile, cracking grout etc. Some of the bridge expansion joints I've hit would jar loose filings in my teeth.

Tile is cold on the feet and should be heated for comfort. Take that into account when pricing the job.

Floating vinyl here. one year, no issues.

We replaced carpet with a high quality roll vinyl that looks like rough cut wood planks. But it was during a remodel with the bed removed. They installed it without any splices from rear to front. No glue. 2 years now, no problems. Love the easy maintenance.
