I am just starting to look into purchasing a trailer for our 8 y/o TB. I was wondering if I could get some opinions on the difference between pressure treated floors or aluminum floors. Is one considered more durable than the other? Is it just that one is less expensive to use in manufacturing? Any insight you could offer would be greatly appreciated.

Hi and Welcome to the Forum.
Over the course of several years either one could deteriorate and give way fairly suddenly.
Proper maintenance, in particular CLEANING, can help the life of either type.
There is at least some anecdotal evidence that some lower priced trailers have been built from lower cost alloys and that this might be a contributing factor to the corrosion of some aluminum floors.
Please search for other threads on this topic, it has been discussed many times before, several times recently and it is a lot quicker for you to find those threads than for us to re-type them.
