Re: [RC] Aluminum Trailer Floor Maintenance / Cleaning - Karen SullivanNow the aluminum floor is protected from the ammonia and should last forever. Cutting more drain holes is a good idea. I would suggest cutting about 1 inch diameter holes (a hole saw works well for this). Be sure to measure underneath so you do not drill into a support as you make the holes. Ed Shoot....I just talked to several trailer manufacturers (Sooner and Silver lite) about these solid alumimum floors and both said DO NOT go drilling drain holes in the floor! There was a good reason....maybe this coffee will kick in and I will remember it....so my advice is to call the trailer factory and ASK about it first. I have a Silverado with solid Al floor too...and REALLY heavy mats. No way am I hauling those mats out every time! Best thing you can do, don't laugh, is train the horses to pee before getting in....all of my friends gelding are pee trained, and have taught the mares (we whistle after rides). Mine is a 1999. I am pulling mats and doing a full structural check next week....will let everyone know condition of floor. I have had horses peeing in that trailer as long as I have had the trailer.
