The manufacturers of the floating material either have a pad adhered to the back or you can install a thin mat for the material that does not have the pad.
I may have mentioned before that a floating floor has a unique configuration for the locking mechanism. What this means is you have to angle the next board in line and if you are close to a wall, outside corner- or curved corner, its difficult to fit the material tight against the obstruction without a large gap.
I often wonder how much this expansion business is an actuality. Especiall in such a small area as a coach. I suspect in a large environ, expansion/contraction would be a factor.
