Flooring solution!

I visited my local all-purpose trailer dealer this morning and saw a sample of Blackwood Lumber's rubber infused planking product.  Pretty fascinating!

First thing I did was go to the company website and call customer service.  

they took a look at some Brenderup photos with me and agree that their product is perfect for this application... ( of course... what else would they say?)

The product is treated wood with an 8mm thick rubber coating in 2x6 and 2x8 widths on standard thickness planks.  You can buy any quantity direct from the factory but have to pay shipping.  Any PJ Trailer dealer can order the stuff with no shipping.  Using a local dealer helps get the stuff unloaded and they probably can work on the floor for you.

The standard version has exposed wood at the edges.  They recommend the Pro version which is complete coverage.  No More MATTS!

PJ Trailer has dealers across the country.  There is probably a sample of the product on their check-out counter.

Let me know if you decide to use this product.

Winter Storage?

Today I had an inquiry about a cover for a Brenderup stored out-of-doors.

I don't have anything to recommend for a cover, but I also don't know it is really necessary.

I wipe down the entire trailer exterior with a product called 303 Marine Protection,

available at any boat store and probably Walmart.   I do that to all my outdoor toys including my winter coats.

If you do use a cover be certain that it's not so tight that things can stay ventilated to reduce rust and rot.  We just parked our trailer facing the prevailing wind and put a board or something under the mats so things can dry out.

People say that a carport is the best storage for vehicles.   They rust more in a garage than out where it's ventilated.

I had a cover for a car once that was really soft on the inside to avoid rubbing the finish.    You'll have to search online for something that might be suitable.

Have fun!

Let me know if you find something and send pics.  I'll put it on my blog.

Happy trails!
