Yes, Bill...that's the Olthoff designed tig-welded surge tank. I've since used some Mother's Metal Polish on it and it looks chromed, now. I didn't take it off the car, though, but just polished it as it was mounted. I plan on removing it to really polish it up sometime in the future, but probably not before DVSF.2.
Speaking of Double Venon....Ed's got a good idea about bringing the Rhino-Hide up the sidewalls a little - say 2 inches, or so. I didn't put mine down, the former owner did, so I didn't have any input. But, it looks professional, works well, and seems to be holding up well. Bringing it up the walls some would indeed seal the floor/wall joints better and would be worth considering.
FWIW...I've seen some trailers that have been finished with linoleum tiles, too. The only caveat I've seen is that sometimes the tiles pull up when the car is placed on them and then tied down. This seems to put some side load on the tiles, and had caused some of them to pull loose. They're easy to put back down, but I wonder if there's something else that can be done to prevent this from happening. My friend, Ron Frohs (SPF#723) had this problem, and he installed some 24x24" ATP squares right where the tires contact the floor. Seems to have solved the problem.
Anyway, just thought I'd mention this. You'll have a lot of trailers to look at when you go to DVSF.2, so your idea is on target! Look for me...my trailer's got big Flyin' Freddie graphics on the side of it. Hope we can hook up...
