I just replaced the deck on my 18' car hauler. Ended up using 6, 2x12's and 2 2x6" boards which fit pretty much perfectly. The wood is not pressure treated or dried so I decided to not leave any room in between the boards. We shall see if that was a good choice around here or not.
I've heard a lot of opinions on odd deck staining possibilities from Diesel fuel and motor oil to Rhinolining, and then the general yearly applications of Thompson's water seal or Boiled linseed oil/mineral spirits. Creosote seems like it would not be a horrible idea either.
Anyone have successful options? For reference I got about 15 years out of my trailer deck before it needed replacement. I believe the wood is just douglas fir.
