Hello and hope I get this right. First time I've used one of these forums.

I've got hold of an old puck that I was going to use as a playhut for grandchildren. Realised that it was too good for that - and not really practical for young kids unsupervised. Want to try and get it back on the road. Basically roadworthy, but a leak round the front window and power access over many years has rotted bottom frame tubing. I've stripped it out to upper trim level and removed polystyrene foam and started replacing with kingspan. Have removed floor and replaced/strengthened framing (jack mount had fallen off) at the front as I'm quite handy with MIG welder and general metal bashing. Wondering what to use for the floor and relining interior. Any comment/tips would be handy. I live just north of Glasgow.

regards, Peter

I used exterior or wbp ply on my old puck floor. About 9 or 10 mm iirc. Worked for me but had to strengthen the join a bit on top of chassis bars.

Thanks for all the feedback. Will probably go with marine ply from a local timber merchant. All metalwork painted and ready to go. Some of the youtube clips were quite helpful.

regards, Peter

As I mentioned earlier I am useless at diy. BUT I did put a new floor in our old Heinemann (now Westphalia) trailer, I used ply wbich is specially designed for this type of use, it has a special name but is essentially ply with a hardened coating, might just be worth a look! Even if you use it upside down so to speak, the coating in a trailer is used as the load surface area but I don't see any reason you could'nt use it upside down to give the inside floor a smooth finish for a covering of your choice, and the exposed part would be protected by the coating!?
