Floor refresh on older trailer
We bought a 2008 44' Pace GT stacker earlier this year. It has grey rubber coin flooring in place. Around the front and rear doors, the coin floor is fairly loose (I suspect from getting wet).
It's also fairly loose in the car tie-down portion and the floor bunches up under the tire when the car is being tied down.
I'm trying to figure out how to freshen up the flooring as it's really the only thing on the trailer that's showing age.
Someone suggested that a spray-in coating like http://www.linex.com/ may be easier and last longer, particularly since it'd be a huge pain to replace the flooring under the cabinets.
Has anyone ever used this type of coating on an enclosed trailer?
Thanks!

Bigger question is what is the substrate under the coin flooring? Advantek? AC plywood? If that is compromised then you have some work ahead of you. Most trailers have the substrate exposed on the bottom, check there.

The floor is plywood and seems to be solid everywhere.

I have had several enclosed trailers that have used "marine grade"
3/4" plywood or some derivative for the decking. As long as it's
painted or sealed on both sides and around the edges, it should
hold up just fine to damp or even wet environments.
LineX makes all kinds of coatings and I have used the equivalent of
their pick up bed liner on the trailer floor and another coating they
sell that weatherproofs and pads the underside. The best part, all
you have to do is drop the trailer off, wait a day or so and you will
get it back with a good as new floor that will stand up to just about
anything you can throw at it. As a bonus the non skid nature of the
coating works great at keeping your car in place.

When I purchased my ATC new, the floor was not finished. I used Restore 10x from Home Depot (like Linex or Rhino liner but a lot cheaper). It has held up incredibly well for the last 2 years.

I found the coin stuff here if you want to replace it.
