I have to disagree here. I've installed laminate floor systems in homes
and
you DO NOT fasten the edges!! Maybe it's different in trailers but
I don't
think the brittleness of the glue would tolerate the torque of the
floor
twisting. Floating floors float. If you anchor it, you better anchor
the
whole thing, not just the edges. Also, use plenty of glue when you
assemble
it. You should have to wipe off every seam as you lay the floor.
I'd welcome discussion.
