I have seen a few posts but most are about a year old didn't want to revive one that was that old so I'll start a new one.

I have no cargo area mat in the cargo area of my van it's just the white flooring. I'm curious what everyone prefers. I need a lot of traction back there as I will be moving a 300# mainline snake in and out of the sliding side door so my feet need the grip.

I'm open to all options rubber mat, hard floor, I'm actually leaning twords a rhino lining of the floor.

I'm haveing Adrian steel bulkhead and shelving installed and really want it to be compatible.

any thoughts and comments welcome.

Localguy,

Welcome to the forum.

Those old Threads might have the info you want and the members who have your answer, may no longer be on the forum. There was a lot of good info passed around regarding the different floor options.

Local guy,

Before getting our transit, I rented a or short one from u-haul to try it out. They had a really thick heavy mat that I liked. After hauling a bunch of stuff, we drug it out and hosed it off. That kinda sold be on the rubber mat. I ended up with the heavy duty Legend rubber mat in our own, it isn't as thick as the U-Haul job but is advertised as 1/4 inch. It has a diamond plate-like texture and the traction is very good. It weighs about 80 lbs. I'm happy with it. I had Rhino Lining in our old f350, that stuff was great! I thought of that for this van but the removable part and the lower cost won out. I would estimate that this mat has a bit mote traction but a good thick Rhino lining is likely tougher. I think they had 40 lbs of liner just on our tailgate! The liner lasted over 20 years and was still good when the pick-up was sold.

Let us know what that cost you- I once got a quote on lining a 20ft enclosed trailer floor and a foot up the sides- they wanted half what the trailer cost new!
Around $2500 IIRC, this was years ago when it was Rhino or nothing.
