Hi All

After 13 years my brand new trailer is starting to show its age.

I knew the deck was starting to get a little dozy and last week when I was unloading a binder I had a board break.

I had looked at Rumber in the past but getting good info on that stuff (price and reinforcements needed) is like pulling hens teeth. Finally yesterday I found a dealer who would price it to me. Total for my 20' plus 5' gooseneck is about $2000. OOOOUUUUCCCHH!! and that is just for the Rumber. I would need add more support for this stuff also. Also I have been told that this stuff has a problem with steel wheel tractors. I haven't priced wood yet but I can't imagine it would be near this bad.

Have any of you worked with this stuff with steel wheels? Is it worth the extra cash?

Thanks in Advance.

jt

jt, if it was my trailer ,I would stick with a wood floor. I built a couple truck beds for hauling cattle using rumber, which was fine because we were dealing with manure also. Rumber comes with different patterns for non slip and such. Stiffners need to be closer. We left gaps between rumber to wash floor which was nice. But expensive. Back to wood floor, hauling tractors on steel, throw down a plank lenght wise, drive on and save wood floor from getting chewed up. Larry
