Fortunately I do not have many sq. ft. in my 25' Sovereign, but if you are crowding your weight limits anyway, this type flooring is not going to help any.

Weight is one of the reasons why I chose to go with cork flooring. My trailer has a limited useful load as built and I wanted to avoid adding weight. The glue-down cork I am putting in will actually be lighter than the carpet and pad that I took out; about a third of the weight of something like Pergo.
Of course, equal reasons for choosing cork are the appearance, quietness, ease of maintenance, and good feel underfoot.
BTW: I saw a single-axle 26' yesterday with a Pergo floor. Very attractive, but I wondered about the weight gain.
