Our flooring arrived, we went with a "Coin-Grip Metallic PVC Floor" from Home Depot. This floor is often used in gyms, garages, boat decks and other commercial applications. It's lightweight, flexible, durable, non slip and waterproof.

The ramp into the trailer is also the back wall when it's up so I wanted a tough, non slip easy to clean floor that would look ok as one of the walls. We unrolled the floor then moved the sheets into the trailer to let them flatten out for a couple of days.
In the meantime we installed our disco party lights. Rob found these fun 12 volt LED lights that are on a flexible strip. They have multiple color settings and programs, you can even have them change colors in tune to music.
We attached the strip along the top of the walls, it has an adhesive backing and then we added some clear plastic mounting clips to make sure it stays up.
The high gloss paint ended up really reflecting the lights, it looks like a double strip.
Sookie and Mollie decided to check on our progress:

After the fun of installing the lights we started on the floor. You can install it with double sided flooring tape or with a permanent floor adhesive. We decided to use the tape, it's easy to work with, no toxic glue fumes and if we have to remove the flooring we won't destroy the plywood subfloor.
We cut one of the sheets to size and got it placed:
Then we laid the floor tape along the edges, it was a pretty straight forward installation. We decided that was a good stopping point for the day.
