We have a few options. The rubber coined is my personal favorite. Take a look:

I did the white thing for the walls. It does brighten up the interior. I also did the sand in the floor paint for traction. But I used clear polyurethane. The floor was 3/4 inch plywood with one good face. i liked the wood grain so I let it show through.

Got the sand at Menards in a 70 pound bag. Have lots left over.

Tile or aluminum floor plate is slick, I like the painted surface , you can either use sand or go to wal-mart and get garage floor paint. Like already posted I use white on the walls it will take several coats on the walls even if you use a sealer. The floor is usually covered good with one coat. This is the cheapest and easiest to do. If you like the wood grain use polyurethane and add a little sand to the floor. Just my .02

Sand in poly or spar urethane varnish will last for years. I have a ramp that I painted, then put spar urethane with sand in it on as a top coat over 10 years ago. It is still in great shape.

I thought you only hauled horses and ATVs and dirt bikes. Sense it's a cruiser, can't you just ride to wherever you're going?[sm=confused06.gif]

Ok Illinois boy, I'll be right there. It's what I've been dreaming about and saving my money for, a trip to Northern Illinois. Besides, there is no such thing as a nice trailer.

Why are you even posting an opinion on a trailer thread if you have no use for one? Smart azz!

Same reason I post in any thread, I felt like it. Since you felt the need to insult me, just thought I'd answer nimrod. Who are you, the f*cking internet police?
