Greg, if I can help you out in the flooring options/selection process I'd be glad to consult. Having functional yet stylish products in RV's insures positive first impressions (owner & guests) and reduces the maintenance, cleaning, and replacement cycles. Traffic is very concentrated in the confined spaces of RV's so soiling and wear is accelerated compared to normal/typical residential and commercial applications. The objective is more time recreating and less maintaining and upholding the proper Weld image.

Well thanks for the offer! But they have this stuff down pretty well...

This is the floor I've chosen -- Granite -- and it will have hyrdonic under floor heat...

Trailer - which is their new design with the "full size" tires...

One thing I'm finding out in this "process" is that there's a whole bunch of regulations to deal with!

Washington allows 75' total combined length.... and California only allows 65' but if I'm licensed in Washington then they go by Washington rules... so I'm okay there.

The problem is a 36' stacker and a 24' toter is over the limit by a lot! So I'm going to have to do some trimming somewhere! The toter, bumper to ball is 40' 6" and the stacker is 36' 7"..... OOPS!

I think you should paint the western mural from Snowman's rig in Smokey and the Bandit on the trailer. If you are spending all of this money, you want the outside to be just as classy as the inside.

Yeah -- I'm going to have some tweaker taggers in the area do some "artwork" on it.

Like the heat system, doesn't get much better. Granite will only require dust mopping, low maintenance plus. Check out Pacificlooms.com if custom wool rugs of your design interest you. The only concern I see is the shower floor, light colors like that collect foot oils which show as dark, also that type of tile can have high/low pressure points which may result in "stingers" that make you say *@!#.

Overall it looks VERY impressive!

The surface area of those trailer sides says billboard revenue........Ironworks?

Well -- now -- according to the dealer... I figured wrong. You know what they say about measure twice cut once... I like metal because when I cut it too short - I can add some back on!

According to Darryl -- a 22' "box" and a 34' stacker would be only (I say that tongue in cheek) 71.5'

Which means I have some room! I've asked for the overall length of a 24' toter and a 36' stacker. We'll have to wait for an answer.
