Can't find anything on recommend temp ranges for the Aurora plank flooring you mention. Since the RV will get cold and hot when not used, the floor tends to separate on vinyl plank flooring. I installed Allure flooring from Home Depot and have had a bit of this occur. That is, if the Aurora product is floating floor type planking as is the Allure. Doing it again, I would use sheet vinyl. My ol' 2002 needed the carpet gone.
Taking the carpet out of the slide is kind of sketchy. The slide will rub the floor you put on in many cases. I have minimized this by putting 6"x3' pieces of 1/4" plywood (four in all) under the places that showed signs of scratching when pulling the slide in. Many other report this so the thicker the flooring material, the more likely the scratching. As far as new flooring IN the slide, go out and look at your slide carefully by pulling up the carpet a bit where it slides into the trailer when retracted.
You have a big ugly black piece of rubber stuff running end to end. The only way to put flooring over that to hide it would be if were LOOSE like the carpet. Maybe someone knows how to get around this issue but I sure don't.
When you pull the carpet, you will likely have sheet linoleum below fasted with about 7 million staples and pulling staples will be the bulk of you job. Good luck! Use the search function for more experiences than what I had.
