My '58 Airstream project has had a failure with the flooring. I was trying to use a "floating" vinyl plank flooring but it has separated in a few spots. Not sure why but I am thinking it is due to the temperature swings up here at 6500', typical to see 30 degree swings.
I talked to Richard the other day to get some advice and he shared what Ernie told him. I will now be gluing it down even tough it is the "click" style, this is how I made repairs prior to deciding to start over. I found a newer product at Lowes called SMARTCORE and it has a much better locking profile than the cheaper stuff I got at Lumber Liquidators that failed.
I am sharing this because it is a learning curve....very happy that I am working with a smaller project with the Airstream Trailer prior to pulling the carpeting on the Newell and wasting allot of $$$$!
