Guys we have tiles that are 3x3 we want to use in our bathroom. Have any of you tiled in an RV before? Looking for tips. I see a site called Flex Tile that sells an adhesive and grout but wondering if similar things are available at Menards and such.

hi todd,
we put 12" sq granite in the 90. with diamonds in each corner and a black strip edging around all side.
i had talked to ernie and he said to use this product as a crack suppression barrier.

it is a waterproof barrier, a sound barrier and a crack suppression layer. you use a special contact like cement on the floor (after you precut the pieces) and then peel the backing off this stuff and lay it in place and roll it.
i used it on the entire floor of the coach, even under the carpet. i also used it in the generator bay and compressor bay.
then we used black silicone for grout (that i got color matching silicone from the tile supply place). newell said they use silicone for grout when i talked to them.
thats my story
