flooring

Hello Everyone. Just wanted to get your opinions on flooring options for my pass through compartment on my toy hauler. I just finished repairing the water damaged floor in the compartment. It's almost completely flat plywood covered with killz primer. it's about 4 X 8 in size and I will have to cut around wires and pipes etc. I slide stuff in and out of that compartment often. I was considering some vinyl tiles? Opinions??

I used floating vinyl planking that locks together. It is waterproof. Placed a bead of caulk around the outside edges. Works like a charm.

Many things will work. Just stay away fro self stick tiles. They work for a short time then they start to pop loose.

I used similar panels to what dutch used in the bedroom. I added a piece of carpet where I store the hitch.

I suggest a reasonable quality linoleum. Remember trailers, especially toy haulers, are prone to alot of moisture. The lock together flooring popped apart in a friends RV on a bumpy road. What a surprise. Best of luck

Close to my first choice.. Ollie's (Great stuff cheap) has vinly planks Like tile but longer and narrower. Peal and stick.. I using that on my brand new slide out floor... Looks real nice. and not all that expensive.

How about those interlocking foam floor tiles. They make the more "adult" version click here and for kids rooms Click here too.

A few years ago I remodeled one of our bedrooms for my grandson when he and my son came to live with us. The carpet in the room was completely removed and these put right on the raw wood. It was easy, and not costly at all. They've held up for 4 years now and the corners have not pulled up. In your pass-through area in your camper, you could put a rug on top of them. I put a run in my pass-through compartment in all my TT's and now the bay areas in my 5er. I also carry a couple of those foam squares to use outside when yard mats just don't seem right.

How about a piece of formica kitchen counter material. It's harder, smooth and doesn't catch and tear. You could laminate it to the plywood.

What about “painting” the floor with truck bed liner stuff?

Tiles can lift a bit, which would make an edge for the sliding things to catch on, which would make things worse. If you can't just paint it, IMO a sheet of something smooth and thin would be better that you can cut for the wires etc. Not vinyl though, which can also get a gouge in it that would snag things.
