On a serious note, my trailer has a rumber foor and I love it. No mats, no rot, 20 yr warranty. I'm not sure what the cost is to replace it, if/when it ever wears out. Anyone ever price the stuff out per foot??

My '97 2H BP came with it and the floor is still in great shape after 10 years - no wear, no problems, etc. If you can afford it, get it. It's a huge improvement over wood.
My new LQ doesn't have it and I sure wish it did as I do not want to have to deal with the heavy mats when it comes time to clean underneath it....

By far superior to wood! There is no way I'd take wood if rumber was an option.
It does add a bit more weight due to additional support needed in the frame which is why I ended up with a plank alum. floor as I had weight limitations. I looked at Hawk and Merhow for this option but most offer it now.

What scared me away from wood is when my colt backed out of the trailer and put his foot through my ramp. I know it isn't the same thing but I had that ramp re-built just a few years earlier- when wood rots, it rots and cannot always be seen easily. I know there are several brands with a well built wood floor but to significantly reduce the risk and maintenance was worth it. Things can go wrong with any material, but the probability is less if there is no wood involved.

Thanks, I didn't think about going directly to the source for pricing...duh. If they sell it to the trailer manufacturer's, they'd sell it to the public, right?
