Tear in linoleum

Before I bought my RV there was a tear in the linoleum that looked like it came from a screw in the slideout. It is about 2 inches long and I can see the plywood floor. How do you repair linoleum without it looking terrible? (There is a pattern in the linoleum).

I had the same issue with my Elkridge (under warranty) The dealer fixed it some how with a heat gun....I couldn't tell where the tear was when they were done. It was NOT all the way through the vinyl into the wood though.

Try your dealer first, the heat welder that Wing-in-it described is a $650 tool which takes a lot of practice to master, not to mention they welding rods are very expensive. Next I would recommend asking a local carpet store if they have an installer who wouldn't mind a little side work. They are great to know when your carpet wears out.
If it's not too bad maybe you could patch it in and top seal it with some vinyl seam sealer from one of the box stores.

Vinyl Floor

There are some youtube videos on how to repair vinyl flooring. It involves making a patch from the same pattern using a scrap piece. I don't know how I will find this pattern and color though.

The vinyl flooring is applied to the entire floor of the coach before the interior cabinets are installed. You might be able to 'borrow' some vinyl from under one of your cabinets?
