Okay so im very new to this site but im already addicted lol Ive been wanting to go Mobile for awhile now. I finally found a great deal on a small 4x6 Utility trailer on the local classifieds. Anyways, the trailer is in bad shape, I only paid $180.. The flooring was rotted out, it was just basic particle board. Im wondering where i can find some strong diamond plate flooring? can anyone direct me to a website?! Thank you in advance

Diamond plating is expensive.
Just go with plywood and coat it.
So one here in the OC was selling some on CL for $400 bucks. Do a search he might still have it.

Thanks for the Reply. will plywood be able to hold a 90 gallon water tank? weighing approximately 720lbs?

No problem. You can always reinforce it as well.

yes, thats the beauty of plywood, it's strong.
You said it had particle board and that stuff is crap in the wood working world.
I've build alot of stuff out of plywood, you'd be amazed at what 1" PW can do.
