Flooring for my CT

I am considering this flooring for my build. My trailer will serve as a transport and mobile garage for my MX addiction so even though I will be sleeping in it, durability is my first concern. Does anyone have any experience with this stuff? My trailer is 7x16 so the roll is almost the perfect size. Very little waste.

MXD, Howdy;

There is someone else that used the 'coin' style and they gave some good reviews of it.
Might use the search function to see if it showes-up.

The only problem with that type of flooring is it expands and contracts a lot and seems hard to keep flat on the floor, I have not seen that brand before but have seen pics of similar flooring (I think on this site) and it is all wavy on the floor.

Not quite. The mat the OP mentioned is fine and is used in many home/ industrial applications and in many CT / Toy Hauler applications. It does not expand/contract as you think.

There is another type of interlocking mat but is made from foam. I used a similar type/brand in my CT conversion as it was much cheaper (< $50.00) then the above type of mat. This mat does expand but with proper fit and a few dabs of silicone underneath each piece, negates any expansion waving/heaving of the mat on the floor in temps as high as 100 F.
