10mm is over 3/8". Could be a little high. That is one of the reasons for using Allure flooring. It is 3/16" thick.

Howdy!

We used 10mm thick laminate flooring in our 36XTRM5 Carriage Carri-Lite 5er and have not had a problem. We used the flooring in link below from Home Depot and like it and its workout well for us. We also removed the carpet in the slides and replaced it with the same flooring.

The big slide out have carpet .The carpet cover the crack of the slide out.I can't install wood over there because the edge have steel which is cover by carpet and is a little uneven.Anyhow tomorrow I will finish the floor completely.I use Home Legend brand.The slide out slide with no problem on the top of the floor.After I finish tomorrow I will take some picture.

Nice work! That is a good looking floor, you should be very proud of the result.

Now you'll have to take off your sandals when you walk in, though.
