Luckily my floor is covered with 1/4" rubber matting, that surely makes it easy to keep clean. I intend to utilize my trailer as the same purpose as you are.
Here's a few pics of our rides, hope you enjoy.

Awesome bikes! Let's see some pics of the trailer too :)

I have a thread started about my build. Look for "8x22 enclosed trailer".


Oh I see it now =)

BTW,after looking at how much plywood pricing is and also how much weight it would add, I'm starting to think of just putting up FRP and call it a day. Anyone have any thoughts?

Hi folks. I'm still stuck on what to put on the walls to fill the gap between the beams. I was going to use 1/4" plywood with FRP over it but the cost is too much. Is there something that I can use that's like FRP but costs less? Thanks!

I am having the same dilemma, have been searching but not found the perfect material. Hopefully someone has a alternative material.

I used 1/4' plywood underlayment from Lowes ($10.00/sheet) for my ceiling....clear grain, no knots.....to save costs maybe do the bottom 1/2 of your walls with frp...thats where most of the abuse will be.....upper 1/2 with clear plywood painted to match...just a thought.....
