We used a 1/4-inch corner round white plastic strip to match the vinyl and the wall. You will need to cover the gap with a trim piece on top. Once you find the best flooring material, make sure you leave a 1/4-inch gap around the edges for expansion and contraction.
Otherwise you will get splits or heaves in the seams. Since you are using planking, I would not recommend gluing it as the material will expand and contract and needs to “float”.
WATERPROOF VINYL PLANK FLOORING DRIVER
In our unit, we installed a padded vinyl material from Infinity that needed to be glued as there was a slide room on the driver side that would roll over the vinyl and might push it or tear. Another option would be to cover the plywood with a thin substructure like we did for the engine compartment, as it was too rough to use as is. So, you will want to get all glue and staples out of the plywood and have a good smooth substructure to lay the new flooring on. Prepare the substructure to lay new flooring on We tried almost every flooring solvent available at the local home improvement store. The vinyl came up in chunks and even scraping it down left glue residue that was almost impossible to get off.

So it is important to consult with your provider to identify what product might work for your application. Most of these products have a disclaimer right on the box: Not recommended for RV application. Most LVP planks available at home improvement stores are a combination of a vinyl top surface and fiberboard underlayment and are designed for residential applications where the inside of the house is climate controlled as well as moisture controlled. I would not recommend gluing the LVP planks to the floor as they will expand and contract with temperature changes and humidity. Is it better to glue them down, or just rely on the snap system to hold it all in place? - Tom, 2012 Phoenix Cruiser 2552 Make not to secure the planks to the subfloor in any way.We’re wishing to refloor the RV and intend to use LVP (luxury vinyl plank).
