Bought one with a wood floor and haven t experienced the problem any more. A couple have warped pretty good but it s a solid floor and i suspect it ll last a good 10 years or more. If so how did you mout the ply to the trailer frame. The mesh did start to sag causing alot of headaches with trying to keep the motorcycles cinched down properly.

So i plan on installing a wood floor myself in the very near future. We would get up tight but eventually the forks would start bouncing with the trailer and loosen up. The wire mesh isn t that sturdy. Any help would be great and pics too.
