You have been such a help in the past. I apologize if this subject has been covered. . . I tried to search and didn't find my answer. Please point me in the right direction, if the answer is out there! A couple years ago we replaced the flooring in the main living area with Pergo. Looked great, worked great, but we left the carpet on the slides. We have reached a point that the carpet had to go!! (two dogs) After reading so many great comments on Allure, we decided to redo the whole 5th wheel in Allure. The Allure has been laid on the slides and the floor in the living room/kitchen. The slides seem to come in with no problem. The question is how to handle the transition between the slide and the floor? Over the rollers? I thought I had read several ideas earlier but can't seem to find any of them now. Any suggestions? Thanks ever so much.

Hard to say without seeing your specific condition but knowing Allure and other strip flooring brands I would be looking to extend the flooring over the slide front edge. This extension would work like a sweep that covers the transition..additional adhesive might be needed since part of the flooring will not be solidly resting on a base. This "extension" length will be driven by the width of the transition....I hope that makes sense...

Sorry I can't answer your question, but we have Allure in our S&B home that we put in 2 years ago. We live in a climate that gets cold in the winter with a few snow showers. The Allure does not do well with climates under 65 degrees. The seems pull apart (at the ends). It does go back together once it warms up, but it's not attractive when separated or comfortable to walk on. The manufacturer is changing the temp range for the product since there have been so many problems that we and others have had. We are still waiting for a new floor to go in.
So, those of you that have put Allure in your RV, have you had any of these problems when in colder climates? We have leftover product and were thinking of putting it in our 5th wheel (once we purchase it). But we know we will be in colder temps sometimes. Because of this, we would glue the seems. We were told this is acceptable to do, but the company won't gaurantee it.

We replaced our floor and slides with Allure. We have had no problem with hot or cold temperatures. Our slides rise up a little when coming in and when fully extended there is a small offset, it is not flush. There is a metal lip that goes down into the floor but it still is raised about 3/4 of an inch when extended. Not all slides work the same. We have a 2002 Damon Intruder.

Loretta,
Do you have any photos of the flooring in your coach?

I do but I am not sure how to put them in this message.
Let me see if this works. Doesn't look like it works. Anyone know how to add pictures?

I am going to put a link to our blog page, if that is ok, as we were preparing the floor and then if you click to the next post you can see a picture of the finished floor.

Thanks, Loretta, your floor looks great!
Thank you. Glad that you were able to get to them. I am still having no luck in posting the pictures. I am not sure what I am doing wrong.
