We didn’t bother with adhesive in our T6 camper. The Altro is held in place on the drivers side by the furniture, at the back by the bed and the rear threshold, at the front by a carpet strip, and on the passenger side by the side door step.
No signs of it moving or rippling at all.
Gluing it might be the best overall solution, but I was worried about positioning the Altro incorrectly, and not being able to move it, or tearing it in doing so.

Having used the ply flooring as a template to get the shape right I just started at the front and worked backwards. Quickly - especially if it’s hot as the adhesive starts to set. Make sure the adhesive is spread evenly, fairly thinly and as you lay it make sure you remove any bubbles so that its nice and even and flat. You’ll be fine!
I've always used carpet but always high quality nursing home or hospital quality. It's seriously hard wearing and easily cleanable, mostly resisting various 'nasties' that may get onto it.
I consider carpet on top of a raised ply floor on Celotex insulation for the REIMO seat track gives good sound and heat insulation plus the comfort of bare feet on the floor in a morning!

Hmm. Can’t be the same stuff. I paid the cheapest price basically that I could find. Should be around the £110 mark with adhesive! If the adhesive is about £25 then the flooring is around £85 - at that rate you’d be expecting the flooring for £10! Just check the amounts in your basket.
I've used a local carpet supplier who also supplies contract fitters, in a couple of instances they have had off-cuts that were suitable and in others I have had to get them to order it in for me. They are happy to get small quantities.
I think almost all that I have used (I've done five conversions) have been from Joseph Hamilton & Seaton Commercial Carpets & Office Carpet Tile Suppliers, JHS Carpets, if you look at their range you can filter for hospital quality.
It's not cheap but things rarely are if you want the quality.
