Howdy again.
I purchased some floating vinyl plank flooring from Home Depot. Initially I figured I would lay it down and build cabinets on top. Now I'm not quite sure. I've been reading up and the vendor recommends 65 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit. My van will see much colder and hotter. So I started watching videos and searching the web and ended up realizing there would be expansion and contraction. The amount hard to say.
So as a precaution I'm now thinking that it might be better to build out cabinets and then lay the planking around them. In my way of thinking that would reduce the risk of movement causing issues, and if the expansion and contraction is great, then fixing or doing something else would be much easier.
Am I over thinking this? Anyone with experience using vinyl planks in a van? How is it working out?
