What's going on, everybody Adam here with etrailer. Today, we're gonna be taking a look at some RV vinyl flooring for your RVs, campers, trailers, or your garage. First thing you wanna do is, of course, just clean your trailer. Get everything out of it, everything off of the floor, and you do wanna take some of the trim and stuff that are on the floor and on the walls just so we can get that down. We're gonna put them back on once the vinyls install. So what we did was we swept it out, we blew it out, and then I took a shop vac and vacuumed up all the little cracks.
If you have wood, we don't recommend that you wash it. But if you do have some other type of flooring in your trailer, you can go ahead and hose it out, but make sure to let it sit out maybe a day or two to make sure all the moisture is gone. So that's what we did. And all the while I had this big ol' roll of vinyl out in the sun, so it's gonna be a little more malleable whenever we're trying to cut it into place. So now that that's done, what we wanna do is unroll this and get the shape that we want to make sure it fits.
We're pretty much ready to get going. We have plenty of ventilation. And that's something that we really wanna make sure you do just because the glue is gonna be kinda stinky. And make sure you wear mask, of course. But the options that we have when it comes to the flooring is the small coin, like we have here.
We're also gonna have large coin, some diamond patterns, also marble and checkerboards. So depending on what your rig look like, if it's a trailer or a garage, you can just pick whichever one is best. The reason why we're going with the small coin or the large coin is just because we use this trailer to load up a lot of our toys. Sometimes they're muddy, and sometimes it's wet, so the coin is gonna give us a decent amount of traction compared to the checkerboard or the marble style. They are gonna come in 24, 18, and 12-foot lengths, and the width is gonna be either eight and two inches or eight foot and four inches.
Our trailer is about eight foot wide, so it's a little too wide to get it in the door. But what I'm gonna do is just kinda unroll it on the little ramp and pull it in so we can get it cut to size. Now, the flooring is all rolled out. I kinda folded in the sides just so we're not gonna have any issues with the wheel wells. So now that that's done, kinda grab it. I'm gonna bring it all the way to the front here. And we wanna get it all the way to the edge. I wanted to make sure that it is even on both sides. So you can use either these little wheel wells for reference, but try to get it as straight as you can. And what I'm gonna do is start on one side of the trailer, make sure it's nice and flushed, start making my cuts. And then once that's taken care of, I'll do the rest of the sides. So there's one thing that we're doing today just because I wanna be able to wash this out. And what we're doing is we're taking the caulk off between the wall and the ground so it's gonna sit flushed to that little edge 'cause it does kinda stick up a little bit. And we wanna make sure that it's going to adhese very well to the bottom and stay nice and flat. But we're gonna caulk over top of it to seal it back up again. This is something we talked about with The Source Company, and they have not tested it. But we're gonna go ahead and do it today just to see if it's gonna work and so we can give it a nice seal. One tip when you're cutting, it does come in handy to have

Great video. Very helpful. I purchased the 601 adhesive, what size Trowel should I used for wood. It doesn't provide a specific "wood" application? Porous would be 1/8 trowel so I was thinking 1/8th. Thanks in advance!

A 1/16”x1/16”x1/16” square-notch trowel is recommended.
