Allure flooring question.....

[oilcan]

I am finally replacing my carpet. I have read that a lot of you have used the Allure vinyl product (floating planks) and that is what I was planning on using. I was reading the installation pdf and I am concerned about the part that says its not recommended for rv use.
quote - "You can not install Allure in Solariums/Sunrooms, over Carpets, or any Exterior Application including seasonal porches, camping trailers and boats. Avoid long term exposure to direct sunlight. Failure to properly shade Allure from the effects of the sun can damage (buckle) the floor."
AND
"IMPORTANT NOTE - Heat and cold resistant: Our adhesive can not get down to 15F (-10C) or not higher than 95F (35C) for an extended period of time. Long term exposure to freezing cold or hot tropical temperature will damage the floor or cause the adhesive to fail "
Since I live in Phoenix, AZ and our summer temps are over 100degrees you can understand my concerns.
Has anyone on here experienced and problems with any of the issues mentioned ?
Thanks in advance

Used Allure in sticks & bricks. Kitchen floor separated in some areas leaving a half inch gap. Tried it on a sealed concrete basement floor ..... all the joints opened up. Home Depot was not interested in warranty as their people didn't do the instal.

Junk, stay away.

I plan on using the snap together type. Fasten one side and do not fasten it anywhere else so it can float. I dont have everything figured out as I have only peeked under the edges of my carpet but I should be able to fasten the edge that will go just under the edge of the slide.

Use 1/4 round trim or something on the other three edges but dont glue or staple it through the edge of the Allure, fasten it to the wall or cabinet.

My slide is raised like the one in the pic. The edge in the pic was made out of wood and screwed to the slide with wood plugs over the screws. The Allure would probably be fastened at the wood edge and float toward the outside wall. Some have a different slide system with the carpet flap. If it looks like a problem doing the slide then it will get new carpet. At least that's what my plan is.

I found this pic on the web.

Ours held up well, at least until we traded for another coach.

I have used Allure in my seasonal Cherokee trailer. It's not recommended for RV's.

If it gets to hot or cold the adhesive that holds the seam together fails to do so. Where I had to force it to be together the glue would let go. Where it was in a relaxed state it seemed to do fine. I made sure it had room to expand and contract for hot and cold. The vinyl that was in it did not like -45F temps and split. I have had it in there for 3 years and plan on putting it my Wildwood as well.

There is a Allure that snaps together that might be better, but I have not used it.

I have no idea how it would hold up in the AZ heat. My TT the problem is extreme cold.
