I saw rideandfly's floor at the meetup in South Carolina in March, and it looked really good. What did you use to cut the tiles to fit? How much insulation does this flooring provide against the cold floor?

More importantly, why didn't I know about the meet up in South Carolina?? Where was it and how many Camplites were there??

Yeah that is pretty much what I'm planning to do. I also found this product:

http://www.garageflooringllc.com/coin-pattern-garage-floor-protection/

which is pretty much the same thing in a large roll. The 7.5x17 would do my entire trailer except for the cabinet floors, and be a seamless look.

In January of this year, Sean started a new thread in the Trip Planning section titled Flat Rock State Park SC. He said that he and his family were planning to go there the last weekend in March. I asked him about seeing if others here on the LL board could join in. We organized it all on that thread, although we really didn't do much more than talk - a lot!

I think about 7 Camplites and one Quicksilver popup were there. I am sorry you missed it. It was a good time. The only thing we planned as a group was a pitch-in meal. The rest of the time we enjoyed the park and getting to know each other. Sometimes less is more.

The vinyl takes the "cold" edge off of the cool floor, probably does not do too much insulation wise.

[/quote]Yep, looks close to the same thing. Going to cover the complete garage floor at home with the same covering.
