Garage floor mats in enclosed trailer?
I have a 22' enclosed trailer, of the inexpensive plywood box on steel frame type, and painted the interior. It's still new so hard to say how well the porch exterior paint will wear.
Saw these rubber mats in Griots and wondered if anyone had used something like this on the floor of their trailer? Think it would be a bad idea to trim to fit and lay one of these over the entire floor?

Naturally, there are options cheaper than Griots:

I tossed one in my 24' Thule. Ideally you should glue it down as the hot tires will stick a bit but it's pretty indestructible. Someday i'll trim it all out nice and glue mine down, but for now it gives a nice clean floor to walk/park on. Oil wipes right up though it can stain if left on long enough.. I have the bright blue.

I painted mine with 2 coats of expoy based porch paint. I had a bit of an oil spill on the floor and it cleared up very easily. It is on a few months old so I can't say how it will last, but it is cheaper and lighter than rolled up rubber.

My trailer's PO put down that garage floor paint that has the speckles in it. I works great. Quite frankly, I was surprised it did not pull up or flake off. So far so good.

I did the epoxy paint with speckles on mine 2 years ago. Its worn pretty well but it does have some stains. I'd like to do a regular rubber floor at some point but its function over form for now.

I put down the 2x2 ft interlocking squares from Lowes that is meant for the garage. Not crazy about them, they keep growing, initially put them in in March and as the temp when up I trimmed them twice, had to take almost 2 inches out. I will keep them for a while but in a year or two I'm thinking Line-X.

Mine came with what looks to be lineoleum. Not sure If I spelled that right However it looks new and cleans up with simple green and wears well. I do have a tear in it but it came to me that way.

Here is mine after painting and starting the work on some front shelving.
It shows dusty foot prints, but they clean up easy and it looks so much better then the bare wood.
