You are my hero. For courageous mods to a $30k asset.

Right after TT, that is. Or maybe tied. Either way.

[font size="3"][font face="arial"]Well, I'm no hero. Just makin' a good thing better. The floor was what computer types might call a cut and paste without the paste.  And as for Tinkeringtechie and me, we both seem similarly inclined, but I haven't taken a saw to the roof and a perfectly good counter top yet  .

We bought a pack of interlocking flooring tiles at Costco for about $20. Plan is to see how far that goes once we get the trailer back, then buy enough to finish the job.

Photo of what we got later.

For my 13QBB I got 2 packages of 4 interlocking tiles from Lowes. Something like $20 a package. I needed 2 packages to make the edges look nice even though I didn't need as many square feet as I got.

How thick are the rubber tiles?

Here's the ones I got at Costco:






8 2'x2' tiles for about $20.

I can't see where it says the thickness but I just measured and its about 3/8".

So   16 sq ft for a 13QBB? I have 96 sq ft on the way for my 21RBS.  I may have ordered too much.

[mitch]

I'll measure tomorrow and post but 3/8 is pretty close, maybe 1/2.  I'll tell you though, it's very very noticeable, really improved the feel over just the carpet.

Updated: Measures out to a 1/2 inch.

The rubber floor tiles look great.  Thank you all for the pictures

HI,
   First post BTW:    I am picking up my 2013 leftover 16db on friday.   I have been surfing amazon and other sites for various options for floor covering.   I discovered these on amazon:

They are simulated wood grain pattern on top of interlocking yoga type matting.    I'm thinking I might be ordering some eventually and cutting to fit and then putting the factory rugs back in on top.     

They have a few different color options available.  black, grey, cherry and oak.

Here's another slightly cheaper option in oak:

Did our 14DBS with 2 packs of rubber tiles from Harbor Freight. $9.99 each before the coupon.

Veteran move: unwrap them, hose them down with some dish soap, and let them air outside for a week. Everything from HF smells like benzene for a week.

We put the factory rug mats on top. Very comfy.

Those look very nice.  We will be taking an Alaskan Malamute with us in our camper and would like feedback on whether this type of product would survive her nails.

I may put them in an area I am creating for a home gym even if they do not go in the camper.

As for dog nail effects I think it depends on the [/font][font size="3"]room [/font][font size="3"]allowed for dog acceleration or deceleration. If the dog can really dig in starting or stopping it might be a problem. Inside a camper it's probably not a problem.

ProTip if you end up using the foam rubber gym mat type tiles. Be sure to allow for expansion in warmer weather. I installed some and didnt leave enough space and as the weather warmed up I had a bit of a bulge in the middle of the floor. Its nothing a little trimming couldnt fix but it just means a bit of extra work.
