vapor barrier

I'm putting down vinyl wood planks over a concrete floor that had carpet previously. I have had differing opinions on the need for a vapor barrier before installing the vinyl. Living in Florida is a high humidity region but I did not notice any dampness when I removed the carpet. Manufacturers instructions don't address this issue. Any suggestions?

Id be on the phone with manufacturer getting their recommendations. Should issue come up they are the ones covering the warranty not anybody on this site!

I am remodeling and putting down vinyl planks. Spoke with a fellow that has installed these type of floors and he told me that there is no concern about expansion with vinyl so i could butt the planks right up to my molding. Anything I have seen advises 1/4" spacing to allow for expansion. Any advise?

I am installing vinyl floor planks in my bathroom. The tub is a roman style with a curved step area. How would i plot the planks to match up to a curved surface. The planks will be running in the direction of the photo. [img]https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.doityourselft.com-vbulletin/400x300/thumbnail_abddb568e4dd5bd689a488aa13c399af6137c2cd.jpg[/img]
