What to put on my trailer floor?

Don't use aluminum diamond plate it's extremely slippery when wet!

I have used indoor out door carpeting but you need to glue it down and it's a PITA to remove. Cheap vinyl tile will not hold up for long. I haven't tried vinyl flooring yet.

I would at least paint it.

I have aluminum tread plate on the floor in my trailer. It is probably the best material that you can put down that will last. My trailer is 20 years old and other than a few dents the floor is in excellent condition. I don't find it slippery at all. The inside of the back door is also the same material. On a 24 ft trailer you would only need 6 sheets to cover the floor. I have found some good deals on that type of material on craigs list.
any sort of vinyl tile or flooring will not hold up. There are some rubber type tiles that would but the cost would probably be as much as the tread plate.

i like the idea of line-x type of coating, bring it up the sides a bit, then you could go in and wash out any dirt-mud etc. that being said I have the rubber coin floor in mine and I had to power wash out all that atco mud from last years div race. no problem just didn't want it seeping in the side joints

Got a quote for LineX, $1200. I may look into a do it yourself spray in kit.
Thanks for all your input.

I used a latex-based porch / floor paint from Lowe's. Light gray, and it comes with sand mixed in so it doesn't get slick. We went up the walls to the height of the wheelwells, and I think it looks pretty good. Spent maybe $120 all said and done, but this will only be the 2nd season with it so I'm not sure how long it will last.
