pics will have to wait until next week.


I think I understand what you are saying.  The aluminum flap that covers the ramp hinge area.... that can move and go under the bikes rear fender when traveling.  So to hold it tight to the ramp when folded up you are using small cleats...?

Really nice improvement over the plain wood floor. I like the gray color. Good job.

Thank you  :)

Home Depot, 2" wide piece of flat stock aluminum. Nothing fancy.

Just seen how crappy the pics were, if you need something better I'll do a daylight pic. That was the night before MV, no lights.

Can you sweep the floor clean with a broom?

Sorry for not getting back in a timely matter.  Yes you can but a faster way would be use a leaf blower

Nice work on the floor. Curious to find out how it is holding up since completion. I live in Michigan as well, and looking for something more permanent. Thanks

I know I'm digging deep here but, I am about ready to use Home Depot Deckover on mine. Same stuff only different. Anybody have any words of wisdom?

A friend used a paint on product last fall, goes on just like paint, he was all jazzed up on how good it was going to look. It was a deck restore that he got from Home Depot.
Saw the deck and stairs a couple weeks ago.  Looks like he never did it.
Not knowing the product name really helps you.

Floor looks nice. If the trailer is a few years old and has a plywood floor you should put a bright light inside the trailer some night, close the door and get underneath the trailer to see if you can see light in any of the seams or along the wall joints. Recently suggested this to a buddy who assured me his, new to him,  Featherlite would be totally sealed. When we did the test it took two tubes of black 3M Silicone Caulk to seal up all the seams that were leaking light out, which means water in while driving in the rain. I did my Pace when it was new this way and have, so far, never had to go back over it.

If it doesn't hold up in the cold/heat and humidity the next time you might want to consider what they use in all of the Grand Design Momentum toyhauler garages (and many other mfgs. also).  I toured the factory a few days ago and got to see this product on the roll and actually going on a garage floor......looks like it's easy to work with.
