Michael...I was concerned that the steps would be slippery. A few years ago we had wood flooring installed in our home (entire down stairs, plus stairs) and I did actually slip going down the stairs a couple of times. We have temporarily put some non-skid panels in each of the treads to prevent slipage and to protect the treads. So far, no slips. Do you have the same under stairway storage in your Newell that we do? All the pieces had to be glued to the metal in the stair way. This particular area of the coach is really built like a tank, and we are hoping that will prevent a lot of shifting, or "flexing" of that area while in transit.
Richard....originally we were going to install a floating floor using Bruce engineered flooring (tongue and groove, but glued together), but after research found that others who had experienced separation due to the natural "flexing" of the coach frame while in transit. Too much movement in a coach. The most successful applications are the interlocking type, which we settled on. Once they are locked together the odds of them coming apart is slim to none. We put a 1000 miles on them driving home and no problems so far. Your project sounds quite ambitious.
