Trailer Rehab: The floor got laid

This is the day that the Holiday Rambler became something I can see us living in.

Because in 10 days we will be living in it. (Mark your calendars for Jan. 21)

PicsArt_1421030841857 — She’s the detail person, which is she requested to be the floor-layer. I just don’t have the patience for this.

PicsArt_1421030906015 — Happy sigh. Isn’t she pretty?

PicsArt_1421033574174 — To remind you of what she looked like before.

PicsArt_1421030972455 — I documented the process. And brought supplies. And finished cleaning.

After researching the best floor option, I decided to go with Allure TrafficMaster from Home Depot. The manufacturer says not to use it for travel trailers, but the many forums I’ve been reading said it’s OK. Many people have told me they’ve used this brand for their trailers and have had no problems with it and recommended its use. So we went with it.

If you’re in the middle of your own trailer rehab process, this floor seems pretty easy to install. It’s grip-lock installed – no glue. And it’s free-floating, so no nails either. You cut it with a utility knife and you lay it down.

There’s a lot to happen in the next 10 days, but we’re excited.

It’s gonna happen!
