FWIW, my neighbor has 2 of these tents.  He builds and operates steam 
boats. 
He just leaves the ground as dirt.  After a little while, grass doesn't 
grow there and it doesn't get muddy.

If I we going to do it and I wanted to keep the cost down (and not make it 
permanent)  I would either do plywood (and replace it every few years) or 
nothing.

A cheap option and more stable would be to have it paved.  Paving is 
pretty cheap and it's a great floor (and it's already raised from the 
ground level.)

Note, jacks don't like pavement as much, however.

Good ideas so far. I would like the feel and functionality of plywood, but 
like was said that will rot. Ideally Trex would come in 4x8 sheets. The 
carpet
idea is good but I need a floor underneath. The more I think about it the 
more 
I realize there's no quick & cheap solution that won't have me ripping it
up as soon as the current vehicle maintenance & storage crunch is over.
