Jim,

I've had a cork floor down in the front half of my trailer for about 5 years now. It has a small "smile" in it where a cup jumped out of the overhead but no one can find it but me. I'm somewhat careful with it… use that felt stuff on the bottom of chair and table legs. It gets swept about once every couple of weeks and wet mopped about 4 times a year or as needed. I like it well enough that I'm planning on doing the bed room when I get a "round tuit". I used luan under it and glued it down with water based contact cement. Finish is 3 coats of water based polyurethane with a spot touch up in a couple of spots. I keep a throw rug at the door and in front of the sink, it just feels homier to me that way.
