Putting the new floor in the trailer.

 October 19, 2010


We knew that we wanted a black and white checker board pattern, because it fit that time period for the trailers of the 60's. We looked for this flooring for quite a while before we found it, the correct size of tile which was in preportion to the size of the trailer. Fortunately, we found this Armstrong remnant for a 1/3 of what it would cost off the roll.








You are looking at the finished floor with all the veneer in place. Before we cut the linoleum flooring I had to prepare the floor of the trailer, fill any small anchor bolt holes are places that were not even in the floor. After that was completed I rolled out the linoleum floor cut it to fit around fender wells then started gluing the floor down working from the back of the trailer to the front. This is a two person job so that when you roll the flooring up some to put the glue down you don't tear it when you roll it back out in place.

This was not that hard to do, just measure twice before you cut and get some one to help you, it will make it go much better. I also want to back up just a little to tell you that before I put the veneer back in the trailer I took the trailer to a trailer repair shop. I had them run new wire from front to rear, put a new plug in on the front, hook up the electric trailer brakes and run new wire for clearance lights, turn signals and brake lights. I made sure all those lights were working before I put the veneer in.
