Bought a trailer last year for desert trips and general boondocking. My wife and I had a lot of fun "renovating" it and as I'm sure you all know, happy wife, happy life. When it came time to do floors we read so much about how NOT to do floors in a trailer, but could never really find any solutions that worked. So we ended up leaving the single sheet of vinyl down and just covered it up with rugs where we needed. Well fast forward to a couple weekends ago and my neighbor that owns a flooring came over and was checking out the trailer and he said he had some awesome snap together vinyl flooring that is waterproof and should stay put even with the jostling of boondocking. I was hesitant, but he wanted to give it to me for free so I said screw it, its not permanent.

After a couple trips now and 1 of them being quite a few miles out into the desert I can say this stuff is amazing and hasnt budged a bit. It only took a couple hours to install and you can make most of your cuts with a razor blade. It really changed the look and feel inside!

I'll have to look at one of the boxes to get the material name. I think it was pretty inexpensive, like maybe $400 worth of materials.

 

Looks good !!

 

How did you do the transition to the cargo door? It looks like you have a beaver tail rear and you aren't running the flooring down to the cargo door?

 

I switched and ran it perpendicular. I have a piece of aluminum that covers the transition, but I need to spend some quality time with a mallet on it I installed this floor the night before a 700 mile trip... Little rushed at the end haha.

 

I like how you did the transition. The implementation is a little off but I think that's a good way to do it.

I would be reluctant to do this simply because of the work required to reinstall all the tie downs. I think I have 10 of them.

 

The tie downs we're actually really easy. I used a hole saw for the smaller ones and a jig for the larger. Took maybe 5 minutes per piece.

 

My tie downs are attached using nuts and bolts. So I have to get underneath the trailer to remove/install them. It's a huge PITA, especially the ones that are installed almost directly above the tanks (water and fuel).

 

Ahh, mine had square plates with nuts welded to them that snapped in place under the trailer, so I just unscrewed, cut a hole and screwed them back in.
