I agree with the suggestion about putting some sort of coating on the floor to protect from spills.

I agree about protecting the floor. If I had a set up like that I'd put an industrial grade vynil flooring down (stapled along the perimeter) that can be replaced, or eliminated, on a whim. It will protect the floor and can be removed at any time should you decide to sell the trailer. A nice clean, unmarred floor would certainly help re-sale value. It'll also be much easier to clean and if it doesn't clean up, replace it easily.

I've been thinking about that as well and I think I'm going to check it out. Something like a black and white checker pattern would be cool.

I also forgot to mention that I had the trailer raised an additional 6" so that I could walk inside it. It is 6'6" as opposed to 6' tall!

You have lots of options. You might be better served to simply get some thin wood sub flooring (it's only about an 1/8th inch thick and the name of if escapes me at the moment) , cut it to fit, tack it down or just lay it down, and then you could actually glue the vynil to that substrate if you wanted. I'd probably only glue the edges and maybe a strip down the center that way it's easy to remove should you need to. The vynil and/or thin plywood could be removed at any time.

I never was much on checkered floors mainly because of the black areas hiding small items that might fall to the floor. However, that type of flooring helps hide wear and tear if that's a concern. So those are some things to consider as well.

I love reflective tape also because it works for its intended purpose. It does have draw backs; rust forming around it's edges, peeling, and removal when painting is needed. I've seen alot of this from being in construction. Of course, detailers take much better care of their equipment. LOL!!!!!

Congratulations on every thing. I see your not too far from me. Whenever you have the time or myself I wouldn't mind taking a look at it and giving you any helping hand you need.

I have several trailers and the best process for all interior surfaces is POLyurethane. As far as a non slip product go to lows or home depot and get some "sandbox sand". After you apply 2-3 coats of POLLY just sprinkle some sand in the high traffic areas and you have a NON SKID surface. Water will just pool up on top and it's and easy cleanup if you spill anything.

This coating will resist spills,odors from migrating into the wall and floor surfaces. If it keeps out foul decomposition odors I am sure our detailing stuff will be easy.....

nice trailer!

this is what I would do if it were mine.

I would Install some 1/8" Luan on the cieling.....then wrap the walls and ceiling with white VRP( its like laminate)

then I would do the floor in a checkerd board pattern using non-skid VCT ( vinyl composite tile )

then I would would use a rubber 4" base ( black to match the cabinets)

the VRP and VCT are easy to clean......and using white VRP will brighten the interior a lot!

using these products inside would basicly make the inside water proof.....crap happens sometimes and fittings break etc....when having water tanks,pressure washers,in the trailer.

Just my thoughts.......

Again very nice looking trailer!

Is this just to carry auto detailing stuff or do you have some other type of business also? It's a big, really big trailer. I'm just wondering why it is so large? I like to put my truck right next to the car or camper I'm working on. With that giant thing I would not even be able to get close. It's actually as big as some of the campers I detail.

Post some pictures when you get it all set up I would be interested in seeing why you needed so much room. Looks great, good luck.
