I'll look into it. I hardly have enough time for the forums anymore, so if it's something that might take up a lot of time, there may not be much point for me to join.

You do not want to use Laminate anywhere where there is any chance of a water leak. Kitchens are iffy, all it takes is for a dishwasher line to blow off and your entire floor is instant junk. I learned this the hard way. I put the best Laminate money could buy in about 1/3 of my motor home, within a month a water line blew off under the sink. I fixed it and within 6 months it happened again. This time I've not fixed it yet. I will as soon (if) I start feeling better.

It's not crap, buy Laminate with the pre installed backing, the thicker the better and quit being such a penny pincher.

Just hard to keep in place while you are slamming the planks together, which is why I like the backed laminate. EDIT- Here's some good info Installing Laminate Flooring Foam Underlayment

I suppose that would work well, but wouldnt allow any give...It would only be a problem if using a cheap grade of laminate, any mid to high end stuff will be stout enough to be okay.



Merry Christmas Travis!! Have a safe trip bud.
I agree with most of the above. The bottom line is IF YOU BUY CHEAP YOU'RE GONNA BUY OFTEN. Simple as that.

How rigid is the floor built in your motorhome? Does it move too much for ceramic tile? I would assume so, but thought i would ask...
