    Default Trailer Floor Covering

    Please help. I just bought a new enclosed 20' trailer. I'd like to cover the floor with something. I've looked at vinyl from Floor Source & Supply, Diamond Nitro Rolls, and LineX. Recommendations?

    We used this in black. We did it 3 years ago and consider it a great investment

    Suggest you NOT use pickup bed liner urathane. Super heavy. I did it on a 20' about 2007. My bad . Sold the trailer. YMMV. Jim

    In 2003 I installed Armstrong Commercial VCT tile in my trailer. Tough as nails.
    Still holding up great today. Use the trailer a lot.
    Holds up to driving on it, etc.

    Fairly inexpensive. Comes in a ton of colors. Mine is Purple and Silver checkerboard of course.

    As always, YMMV

    I rolled hurculiner bed coating onto mine - it’s held up amazing Especially when Things are wet. Although it is slightly difficult to sweep and I gave up on trying to clean any water marks or oil stains off it. I put down tread plate where the tires are strapped down and over all it’s been fantastic. Would do it again for a budget trailer solution. Waaaay less weight and cost than rubber.

    But don’t buy the glue from them. Buy it at Lowe’s or Home Depot

    Default Looking for Additional Trailer Flooring Input

    I did find this subject elsewhere on APEX (Thank you APEX), but this seems the best place to start, so...

    I have 2013 Carson trailer that had the floor painted and then carpet laid over it (with adhesive). Carpet is stained with engine/trans oil and needs to be removed. There are several good suggestions here and I like the Armstrong VCT the best for several reasons (flat, easy to clean, color choice, etc.) but Armstrong does not recommend the VCT for a trailer floor, possibly due to the limited temp range of their adhesive. Temps here the San Francisco Bay area rarely get down to freezing and rarely above 100 deg. F, but it can happen and that range is well outside that of the Armstrong adhesive. A local trailer sales company said that over time, tile edges tend to lift and suggested an epoxy coating... The plywood will obviously need a good cleaning to remove any oily residue and sanding to smooth it out. Any additional experience with this tile and /or other options not listed above?

    Thank you in advance for sharing what you have done for this kind of project.

    -Jim
