Has anyone used the Karndean vinyl floor tiles in their RV to replace the existing floor?

No, but having been in the flooring business for many years, I doubt
they are engineered for the temperature variations that an RV experiences.
Shrinkage/expansion, adhesion to floor, brittleness would all be concerns.

I just installed Allure Vinyl Planks in my MH. It was perfect when I finished but the constant moving and flexing has caused the seams to open up. If I was going to do it again I would install sheet vinyl.

There have been countless threads on using Allure flooring in rvs and I don't recall seeing where it has been a problem for others. We were thinking of replacing our carpeting with Allure but are having second thoughts. Any idea on why you might have had trouble with your installation?

It looked perfect when it was 1st installed. It may just be the way the floor in my Winne flexes. It may be due to it not being truly floating as it is "anchored" in a few locations. I used the Allure that glues together but I understand they make one that they call click and lock. It may be a better choice.

Has anyone used Allure under the Kitchen slide where the rollers can ride on it? Would tile be better under the dlide? Thanks.

We installed Allure this summer. Before bringing the slide in we put down a runner the length of the slide, the slide glides in over the runner. Got the runner at Menards, had them cut it to length, think it ran around $35.
Here is a picture with the slide brought in. We took out the sofa and put a reclining love seat in, works out great!!!
