Allure is one possibility who's replaced their carpet?
Yahoo Message Number: 111356
In various RV groups and home reno groups many people have had good experience with "Allure" which is carried by Home Depot.
My sister used it in a hallway and bathroom of her home, and I was impressed with its appearance and quality for price.  She chose a simulated bamboo.  It comes in about a dozen colours and patterns.  It is a synthetic material, maybe vinyl; you'll need to confirm details of composition, size, patterns, colours; that info is at the HD website.
The aspect that I find attractive is that is about 36 inches long by 5 or 6 inches wide with an inch overlap that is glued to the underside of the overlap on the neighbouring piece.  You have a few minutes to "maneuver" the pieces before the glue sets. This, in effect, makes it a continuous piece of material resistant to water infiltration, which makes it preferable to individual "sticky" pieces of vinyl flooring.  It is easily cut to shape, which also makes it attractive for RVs with rarely a straight wall. It is advertised as being for use in all areas of a home, including bathroom, kitchen, and basement floors; all areas that are hard on any flooring material; which also suits it to RVs. It is light weight, doesn't require an absolutely flat floor [it can be wavy, but no sharp edges], and is flexible; all good attributes for an RV floor.
There are several websites where homeowners have created slide show[s] of how they laid it, and how easy it was.
