Enclosed Trailer Upgrades/Epoxy Flooring/Painting Walls

[@TollesonLife]

We finally got around to adding a couple of upgrades to the trailer we tow behind the Rv. What do you guys think???

[@josephpham2125]

❤😊p

[@SteveMorgan-zn5fj]

Brilliant job. Good video of rhe preparation and application... Very professional looking finish.👍

[@TollesonLife]

Thank you very much!

[@andrewcurtis2605]

This is is exactly what I’d like to achieve. Thanks for sharing and the great step by step guide.

[@TollesonLife]

Sure thing Andrew!

[@user-by7zs2nm8x]

I’ve used that epoxy floor paint that stuff is potent till it cures best choice to seal the pours

[@moton410]

Is that Joel Olsteen? Great speaking voice and channel! Thanks for the footage.

[@TollesonLife]

😂👍🙌 thanks!

[@Flygal5]

I had the same thought.

[@Jakereviewsall]

I pretty much have the same trailer and was looking for ideas. I have been converting mine into a mobile studio though but keeping it where it can still haul in the need.

[@TollesonLife]

🙌👍

[@mctuffpants5376]

Im about to buy a trailer. This is what u planned on doing to the inside before i found your video. Thank u so much for making this video. Looks great

[@TollesonLife]

Very welcome🙌🙌

[@latada6018]

BEAUTIFUL! I knew it was going to be stunning… I’ve noticed in all your projects that you take great pride in your work. I’m the same way. I always say “It has my name on it “ so it’s got to be right. You have gave me the information and inspiration to tackle my garage! Thank you guys for sharing this informational video. I’m always looking forward for the next update! 🙏🏻♥️

[@TollesonLife]

Thank you Latada! Good luck on the garage!

[@L.11.11.]

Thank you, this was very helpful!

[@thomasdill88]

You and your brother done a great job

[@TollesonLife]

Thank you thomas! He was a big help!

[@TobyNorthEN]

As soon as I get my trailer cleaned out, I'm gonna follow your lead on this!!! Great job!!! - Toby

[@TollesonLife]

Hey Toby! Thanks man!

[@janicevoss864]

Looks 👀 great!! 👏👏👏 Always nice to have someone to help with projects especially a brother. Safe travels!! 😊🇺🇸

[@TollesonLife]

Thank you Janice! David was a big help for sure.

[@retiredwithwood6586]

I did the same thing but also put two coats of the clear over the chips on the floor. Seem to seal them to the floor better.

[@TollesonLife]

🙌👍

[@chuckhurd7247]

Darn it, now I need to do my trailer. Looks great, good job!

[@TollesonLife]

Thanks Chuck!🙌

[@elisabethzebrowski5043]

I am making a simple camper out of a brand new 16x7 utility trailer. I'm thinking that this epoxy floor would be perfect under my washable rug!!! Also was going to put a wallboard on my walls but your video makes me think I may not need to and just paint!

[@TollesonLife]

If I had it to do over I would have just painted the floor.👍👍

[@carlaskillings4312]

Great job Tollesons, nice to see 2 brothers who work so well together, ride safe, travel well and cheers to you, Wayne from Windsor Ontario Canada

[@TollesonLife]

Thank you so much Wayne!!

[@LayloNewt]

Looks great. Really like the color chips.

[@TollesonLife]

Thanks D Branch!

[@BERTRAND85O]

This turned out incredible

[@TollesonLife]

Hey man! Thanks, Im pretty please with it, certainly an improvement.

[@garyboyce6186]

If it gets slippery just add the 4X6 rubberbacked carpets from home depot. Will be less wear on the floors as well. If in storage over winter just remove carpets so moisture doesnt collect underneath. Im hoping a gallon of outdoor porch paint will do for me. In middle of painting the walls white in my 6 X10 bike trailer. I will install wheel chocks after too

[@esteban8681]

Not gonna lie, the floor looks real good. Good work man.

[@TollesonLife]

🙌

[@RedheadedMusic]

We have a new 20’ trailer like yours and I need to do this. We bought the trailer to use for moving across country. We will be moving some furniture and at least 4 vehicles over time. This should help keep the trailer durable over the hauls. Thanks for the tips. Now to get time to take on one more chore….😊

[@rvingwithfreedombaron9887]

Looks great! I look forward to meeting you guys on the friendly roads. Cheers!

[@TollesonLife]

Thanks! I appreciate ya, hope to see ya there Freedom Baron!

[@Dave-zy6de]

Nice job glad you had some help from your brother. I think I will do my garage after watching this video. Again thank you for sharing.

[@TollesonLife]

Thanks Dave🙌🙌

[@CharlesJrSmith]

Looking good my friend, will have to try that out

[@TollesonLife]

Thank you Charles!

[@Doc1855]

That interior looks Great, especially the floor. Good job 👍

[@TollesonLife]

👍🙌

[@heritage_cowboy6568]

Thanks for the ideas

[@TollesonLife]

Most welcome 😊

[@BD_Rider]

I think it looks great!!

[@TollesonLife]

Thank you BD Rider!

[@travisfranks2826]

I was wanting to paint the inside of mine white but didn’t know how much brighter it would per trying to keep the walls clean and also Love the floor YES I will be doing mine now for sure Glad I can across your videos started with the trading in the 5th wheel for A class keep the videos coming Thanks

[@TollesonLife]

🙌🙌

[@jaylopez2496]

Good job Chief. Looks real good

[@TollesonLife]

Thank you Jay🙌🙌

[@brianhubbard4175]

Looks much better. Keep the rubber on the road and safe travels.

[@TollesonLife]

Thanks Brian! I think so too.

[@richardsonanesthesia3933]

Question. Looks great, but what about the exposed OSB under the trailer? That OSB really soaked up the paint. What do you think it's doing when you drive in the rain? Or grass grows up under the trailer? As much effort you went into making the trailer look amazing, will you protect that wood under the trailer where it is most exposed to the elements?

[@TollesonLife]

I haven’t done that yet but really should.

[@brendajohnson163]

Looks fantastic ! Great job Top Cop !

[@TollesonLife]

Thank you Brenda! 👍

[@rbelote9413]

Was there a clear coat put on the floor after the chips were put down?

[@kennit828]

You will be pleased with the epoxy floor, it will hold up better than regular paint. Good job!

[@TollesonLife]

Thanks Ken!!

[@markneal4758]

Great finish. Hope it wears well.

[@TollesonLife]

Thank you Mark!

[@FLYANDRIDE15]

That looks awesome! Great idea and didn’t know you could apply the epoxy on wood so thanks for sharing!

[@TollesonLife]

Thanks Flyandride15!

[@mback12000]

Actually according to Rustoleum, this product is not for wood. I called, they said for wood use the ployuramide Rock Solid. Much more expensive unfortunately.

[@JuanGonzalez-hj2zh]

Have you done anything to protect the underneath of the trailer?

[@Wind.Road.Therapy]

Looks so much better. I highly recommend the Rustoleum Epoxy Garage Floor Paint Kit, I've done my Garage and Lanai Floor over and it still looks great.

[@TollesonLife]

Hey Dez! Thank you!

[@sgt.grinch3299]

I used Valspar epoxy and anti-skid. Turned out very well.

[@TollesonLife]

👍🙌

[@richardwinters9723]

Looks great, good job!

[@TollesonLife]

Appreciate it Richard!

[@johntanner5712]

Looks great, I’m thinking about doing that to my garage floor.

[@TollesonLife]

🙌👍

[@user-rk7kg9ik2c]

Really nice job. Excellent outcome! I think I'll emulate it.

[@jeffparks25]

Are you using the exterior paint inside the cargo area?

[@captziggy1]

I think it looks really cool !!

[@TollesonLife]

Thank you captziggy1!

[@Preachermotoman]

The trailer looks fantastic. Thanks for sharing.

[@TollesonLife]

Thanks for watching, appreciate ya Preacher Moto Man!

[@trklusmeyer]

Great look to your trailer

[@TollesonLife]

Thanks TR! Pretty pleased how it turned out.

[@keithallen3119]

Nice work. I have the same sized trailer, have been considering doing the same upgrade. Now if I just wasn't so lazy.....

[@TollesonLife]

Lol! Thanks Keith!

[@wrxs1781]

Looks good, very impressive.

[@TollesonLife]

Thanks WRXS!

[@jarrodfreitas2788]

Hey, man!! So I just came across this video after thinking about doing this myself to a new trailer I’ll be getting!! So a year later…how did it hold up?!?! 🤔😃

[@AdamTheCarpenter]

Wow! You did great! I think I'll do this to my trailer too! BTW, I agree... you are the blue collar version of Joel Osteen BIG TIME!! Its crazy how similar the voice, accent, looks... everything! Lol!!

[@TollesonLife]

Thanks Adam and good luck with your upgrade! 😂😂Joel😂😂

[@BrianMuse-y9z]

The floor looks great

[@rlvallance]

It looks great thanks for the video. I'm doing that too.

[@halp.3640]

I think it turned out great

[@TollesonLife]

Thanks Hal!

[@HighWayStar844]

Looking good 👍

[@TollesonLife]

Thanks Highway Star Rv Livin'👍

[@thomasnorthcastle4130]

I wish I had thought of this for my trailer. I did paint the walls though.

[@rokroll]

Awesome video. I am thinking about doing same thing. Looks good!

[@TollesonLife]

Great RoK! Ive enjoyed the results so far.

[@CoyoteAndRentalCoffee101]

Very very nicely done!

[@TollesonLife]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@scotts5065]

How well has this floor paint kit held up so far? I have an extra kit and would love to utilize it.

[@BrandonParmenter]

Just did my 8.5x20 how much of a pain was the tape to pull after everything cured ? I’m terrified it’s gonna be one with the floor now and won’t have a cut line

[@vince5506]

Very nice! 👍🏼

[@TollesonLife]

Thank you Vince! 👍

[@marklengal9990]

How is the epoxy holding up? Great idea. I wonder if there is a primer for the epoxy first

[@TollesonLife]

So far so good, I may do an update a year in so advise how it’s going

[@vdubpowered]

It looks awesome. Just the paint on the walls made the trailer look more finished.

[@TollesonLife]

🙌

[@elmerkerth3871]

I like it looks really good

[@kevinwalker7102]

I feel it was worth doing all that! Looks alot better. Im in the middle of doing my new/used traile with FRP panels on the walls & rubber mat for the floor. Or i may do the epoxy! How did the epoxy floor hold up so far?

[@bigdogbulldog9912]

Looks awesome 👌 good job

[@TollesonLife]

Thank you so much Bigdog Bulldog!😀

[@jdflhr]

Great job..Looks Super

[@TollesonLife]

Thank you so much Jimmy🙌

[@jeffparks25]

Anyone notice the guy at 1:57 when he was painting 🖌️ and said "...but once that was completed...." 😂 🤣

[@BellsRidesAboardSeaBoss]

You’re gonna have to keep Flyboy around, he is a great worker.

[@TollesonLife]

Lol! I hear ya Bell!

[@earlmarsh2285]

looks good , nice job !

[@TollesonLife]

Appreciate it Earl!

[@cesaralvarez8520]

Looks really good to me.

[@TollesonLife]

Thanks Ce'sar!

[@siegelsdad]

looks outstanding.

[@TollesonLife]

🙌🙌

[@delton503]

Are you in Sturgis this year? I’ll keep my eye out for you

[@TollesonLife]

Couldn’t make it out this year. Hope you are having a great time!

[@manueldiaz-hb4tg]

Came out nice great job 👏

[@TollesonLife]

Thank you manuel!

[@vladpylypiv24]

Hello great video! Question did you notice any cracks on the epoxy from driving since the trailer flexes under load?

[@TollesonLife]

Thanks Vlad, not yet, Im keeping an eye out though due to the flexing. So far so good.

[@tymobyrne4451]

I just used helmans spar urethane on the inside wood of my trailer, dint want to cover up screws with primer and paint i might need to unscrew just to protect my wood.

[@mrmidnight32]

Is there a difference between a cargo and a car enclosed trailer?

[@msims1250]

I think it turned out great! I’m needing to get an enclosed trailer, so this video gave me some good ideas for what to do when I get one. Also, I wanted to say that we almost know one another. I have met David. His wife and my wife, Libby, are good friends. I hope to meet you guys one day. I really enjoy your channel. Mike from Mississippi.

[@TollesonLife]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@jimweagant8920]

Looks good 👍🇺🇸

[@TollesonLife]

Appreciate it Jim!

[@carloshumberto5836]

Hey Sir, Do you think we still need to apply the Epoxyshield Premium Clear Coating?

[@DoggoDepot]

Looks awesome great video thank you for the inspiration 👍

[@LeahJackson831]

Great work! Your brother has an impressive bum! 😊

[@warrenlowe676]

What about a metallic epoxy floor, think that would hold up with a urethane top coat?

[@Be_Whole]

What did you all use for the wall paneling

[@justflooreit4me1]

Nice job. Thanks for sharing your video

[@TollesonLife]

Thanks for watching!

[@fencepost5369]

Awesome 😮 ❤❤❤

[@TollesonLife]

Thanks 🤗

[@veronicawuolle3037]

It looks amazing!! Nice job 😊

[@TollesonLife]

Thank you Veronica! 🙌

[@nicksmooth75]

Awesome job, this video really helped me. Question though, what’d you do with the clumped areas of the flakes? Like the ones not fully in the epoxy?

[@TollesonLife]

Thanks nicksmooth75! I just got my blower and blew any that didn't stick out the back door.

[@georgelehman4970]

You should have used some painters caulk along the trim areas to fill in the gapes dry's in like a hour.

[@jimcollins9316]

Looks incredible!

[@jamesnicholls9969]

just wondering is the underside of the trailer got any coating to stop the wood and metal frame from getting damaged. if not i would definitely do that probably with a bed liner material

[@TollesonLife]

Hey James, not yet, but that is on my list as well.

[@evanstrain5808]

I've heard you should leave the under side of the wood unsealed because it will trap moisture

[@deuce-87]

Great job !! I am planning to do the same on my 7x14 V-nose M/C trailer. Can you please list the brand of the Epoxy kit you got? I could see the wall paint but not the Epoxy. I think we've been missing the Anti-Skid coating on you video. Did you just applied it on top of the 3rd coating with the chips?? lastly, did you need to scrape off the floor after the chips laid down to remove all the edges? thanks.

[@TollesonLife]

Hey Eli, I used the Rust-Oleum Epoxy Shield. The Anti Skid is added to your final coat mix, just pour it into the liquid and stir. We did not have to scrape the floor afterward either. So far so good.

[@deuce-87]

@@TollesonLife thanks for clarifying. Just so you know when I called Rust-Oleum c/s and asked for their recommendation for wood floor paint use, they said to use the Polycuramine instead of Epoxy shield as the latter used for concrete floors.

[@southpawsgarage]

AWESOME!!..THE EPOXY IS TOUGH..THEY ALSO HAVE A CLEAR COAT IF YOU WISH TO MAKE LITTLE SHINIER.....

[@TollesonLife]

Thanks Southpawsgarage! I thought about adding the clear......

[@kordellmurphy1425]

Awesome video! Just picked up an enclosed that I’m fixing up! Was wondering how the Anti slip is? Is it as advertised or is the floor still a bit slippery?

[@TollesonLife]

It seems to be quite sticky. Pretty pleased with it, not sure how slippery it would have been without the Anti Slip though....

[@melcalhoun4981]

Looks great

[@TollesonLife]

Thanks Mel🙌

[@landon1205]

looks great

[@TollesonLife]

🙌👍

[@owen33333]

Great job, Thanks!

[@TollesonLife]

Thanks, I am pretty pleased with how it turned out.

[@heritage_cowboy6568]

Gota question. Where did you get the spare tire rack?

[@TollesonLife]

Hey Heritage Cowboy, man, I purchased from some strange website, in the US just not a well known one…..let me see if I can find it for ya.

[@vgcamaj1]

Man trailer looks great!! I’m gonna do mine soon!! How’s the floor holding up?

[@TollesonLife]

Thanks vgcamaj1. So far so good, no issues and very pleased with it.

[@tylepicier726]

Did you have any issues with the chips not forming into the epoxy? Or coming up? I did a coat about as thick as I would for paint on a wall. 12 hours they feel like they aren’t apart of the epoxy coat. Did I not do a thick enough coat of epoxy??

[@TollesonLife]

No issues with mine, it all came out ok, again no issues so far🤞

[@stubby1122]

So how's it holding up so far? I'm surprised that the trailer manufacturers don't seal or undercoat the flooring on the underside of the trailers. Seem like it would be a must if they want their trailers to last longer.

[@smoothsam7]

Looks good

[@rdg6552]

Looks great! How much weight to you think you added to your trailer doing this and do you think it’s negligible?

[@TollesonLife]

Hey RD G! Thank you. No more that 30 lbs or so but I actually removed some things I wasn’t using and lighted up the trailer as a whole. 👍
