I've searched for earlier posts about replacing flooring but there seem to be very few. We plan to use vinyl plank to replace flooring but I've heard that it's tricky to do it right so the slide doesn't scrape the floor when it comes in. Sure would like to hear from anyone who has replaced their flooring to learn how to avoid this problem.

You would not have to worry about the slide-out scraping the floor. On the 179, the flap on the refrigerator might, but not the slide-out. It has to clear the wheels. I think the same applies for the other models. None of them has the slide-out at floor level that I know of.
