Bought a new 20' but came to find out HD no longer carries plain black and white vinyl tile. Lowes recently has overtaken HD as my primary racing equipment supplier:

At another site someone was asking about "garage floor protector" sold at Sams Club. Limited colors and styles, but the price seems right. Same company makes the coin style too, but it isn't at Sams.

One of them is item #161500. It's 9x20, enough for the floor in a 20' widebody trailer. It's $125, or about $0.70 per square foot, hard to beat.

All right, make me cut/paste/shorten the url...

I want to say it was at the prod site that it was mentioned. The manufacturer name and website was mentioned too. I've been thinking about it for my trailer. The door would mean buying a second piece though, and having a good size piece left over.

And the prod site thread:

"Better life technologies" makes it, according to the thread anyway, and has a website with better pictures.

I used that stuff in my last trailer; worked great at protecting the plywood floor and easy to trim. Downsides - changed size dramatically with temperature changes so the floor would tend to wrinkle in areas (I bolted the tie down bolts through the floor and it may have been better to trim the floor around the tie downs), it isn't very resistant to gas spills and oil stains it.

I went with a vinyl floor in my new trailer and I'm going to put a piece of marine carpet in for under the car.
