Yes, and the linoleum is also laid sided to side before anything is installed. It saves time during the construction process.

Just finished installing Home Depot Allure VPF in our 38' Coachman Cross Country. So much easier than Engineered Wood Planks. Plus it's waterproof. Love it!

The ceramic tile is under the walls also, makes things more fun.
I used Mannington Adura. It is a bit more expensive but the bus doesn't use that much anyway, so far it has been wonderful. It is fully waterproof. I threw a few pieces in a pail of water for a week and it didn't change.
It was roughly the same thickness as the tile, so no adjustments needed to slides. It does come in 3 thicknesses, I used the 8mm.
I was a bit worried about the trim pieces on the stairs. It is plastic with a vinyl covering. I figured it would scratch, but even a week on the beach and several other weeks camping it doesn't have the first scratch yet.

Did you let float or glue it down?

I glued it down with a pressure sensitive adhesive recommend by Ernie. It was a mannington product. So far it’s the best thing I’ve done to the bus. Quick sweep and mop and on the way. I did not do the slides because or the way our bus is when slides are in. I don’t want to be careful walking around or use pool noodles or any of the stuff.

Allure Ultra works well too. I would avoid the brands or grades that use the sticky tape to seal the seams - go for the slightly more expensive tongue and groove type.

How is it handling the slide rollers? Any indentations?

Floating vinyl planks from Ollie's....cause I'm cheap. Just did it 2 weeks ago. Slide doesn't seem to bother it. I vacuum before rolling it in.

Looks Great!
Somehow I think your profile is not up to date. Add a "signature" while you're in there please.

The rollers on curb side leave no marks, but to be safe I put one of those thin UHMW plastic cutting boards under each of the 3 rollers. Less than 1/16" thick.
To Florida and back we had one small mark from the opposite side slide, where the slide rides on the floor on UHMW blocks, no rollers on that side, so we place a few of the same cutting boards under that slide. They are all out of sight when the slides are in.
