Getting tired of constantly regluing the edges of the vinyl floor in our trailer. I think its time to redo the whole thing. I like the idea of vinyl planking but wonder if anyone has any suggestions or advise after attempting it themselves. The trailer is 32' f'ver with a super slide. The slide has the dinning booth and couch, all carpeted, with some carpet trim to the vinyl floor. I have attached a couple photos of a unit I found for sale exactly like mine.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Just make sure the new floor isn't thicker so it doesn't impede the slide.

Buddy put down laminate in his trailer. You can get the flexible interlocking like laminate stuff as well. It’s commercial grade and reasonably thin.

Just did vinyl plank. Easy and quick to install. Durable, able to withstand temperature changes and waterproof.

I did stick down vinyl plank, looks good but after 2 years now it has a couple joints that show due to shrinkage.

I did mine in high traffic vinyl plank front to back after the lino split, it was easy to install and looks great.

Thanks for the feedback. The stick down planks seem to be the way to go. Tons of colors to choose from and easy install.

How is the adhesive standing up on the stick down vinyl plank floors? Any problems with the freeze/thaw cycles?

the stuff I used didn't have adhesive on the pieces, had to apply a pressure sensitive glue to the floor before laying them down. they haven't budged in 5 years so far.
