Roll on bed liner for flooring?

[funengineer]

Has anyone used DIY bed liner in their cargo trailer conversion for flooring? I haul motorized toys in mine and also camp in it so I need something that can stand up to oil, gas and rubber tires and still be clean enough to camp in.
I'm also considering epoxy.

funengineer, Howdy;

Don't know about the bedliner stuff, but several folks have used the garage floor paint with the
speckles in it with good results.

When I get to that point it's what I plan on using as well.

I used Rustoleum Deck Restore 10X. It is high build and very grippy. I picked the Russet color which does show dirt and tire marks especially on spots where tires are strapped down. I am going to use my old coin mat over it to protect it. The bed liner products only come in black I believe. I think using bed liner/deck restore on the ramp and 2-part epoxy paint on the body would be a good choice.

Thanks for the suggestions guys.
I have decided to install a roll on bed liner product from Monstaliner. It can be purchased in 30+ colors but I have decided to go with the black. I'm hoping that the texture will help to hold my tires in place when they are strapped down and that the black won't show any tire marks should they move around some. If this is successful I'll use red Monstaliner on a Wheel Horse garden trailer I need to restore.

I decided against the epoxy because I was afraid it would crack on the plywood seams and then delaminate along those cracks due to the flexing of the trailer. I have epoxy on my garage floor and love it but its heated and doesn't flex like my trailer does. The Monstaliner should hold up to flexing and expansion and contraction during the winter. I will use a roll up area rug in the trailer when camping. I plan to post some pictures of the process once I'm done.
Thanks again for your comments.

This is not roll on per se, but you do roll it out. I am probably going to go with this. http://www.rubbercal.com/rubber-flooring/van-trailer-flooring/block-grip-rubber-flooring-rolls.html

This is what I first considered AnthonyH. It was 8 foot wide and $12 a running foot. I've since learned that if you glue it down it will bubble up and wrinkle. Those I've talked to that have used it successfully did not glue it down which allowed for expansion and contraction=no wrinkles or bubbles. I decided to go a different direction because I was concerned that my cargo shifting may move the rubber flooring. I do like the product however.

I went with the diamond flooring. Haven't installed yet, but I'm thinking adhesive or double sticky carpet tape in the center strip where bike sits, and floating at edges. Probably have to glue it and screw it to the ramp. One roll will do me. Price is right, check it out.

Is that a peel and stick vinyl?
Had a friend that used peel and stick strips and removed it after one year as it would buckle as the wood expands and contracts. It looked great when first installed. Just an FYI.

That is very similar to what I bought for the "garage " area of the CTC Toy Hauler I am building. I am thinking about putting it on the ramp door also which becomes my back wall. Still pondering that one.. I bought mine from Home Depot online and the patern is like the diamond plate..

I will be installing next week. I decided to go with a wood laminate in the area forward of the garage. So 8 ft rubber and 10ft plus vnose with laminate.

Day one.
Remove base trim and tie-downs, clean with acetone, sand and seal with polyurethane.

Tomorrow, first coat of Monstaliner.
