Marmoleum Questions

Hi all, I'm restoring many aspects of the interior of a 60' Tradewind and am curious if anyone has used the Forbo Click Marmoleum? The sheet material is out because I would like to use two alternating colors. I've been focused on the square tiles but can't get one of the colors. Looks like the colors are available in the Click line though which is designed to be a floating floor and may not work in caravans whose floor is in motion going down the road. I'm thinking I could put dabs of construction adhesive in all four corners of the tile which would secure them against lifting. The other side of this solution is as a floating floor it is designed to expand and contract with temp & moisture and this process would be hindered. Anyone been here?

We put in a combination of the 12X12 and 12X36 (30X30cm & 30X90cm) to create a pattern in all but the bathroom. The bathroom was done in the 12X12. It is under all the cabinets, banquette, etc. Only the bathtub and front fresh water tank are on the sub-floor.

There are items secured through the click into the sub-floor: stove, frig, banquette, water pump, etc. None of the cabinets. They are secured through the walls and ceiling.

We left it floating and its been in two years now. No issues with movement so far. We do keep it heated in the cooler months.
