Again, putting anything in on the floor is pretty much directed to one or more of these reasons:
1) to hide the "waves" in the floor
2) to stop stuff sliding
3) to prevent further damage
I've seen 'em sprayed with bed liner stuff and under-coating stuff. Some show up with OD painted sheet of plywood, some with "duckboards" (be they painted or not), some with a carpet and some with some type of rubber matting. Again, unless someone sees the floor of the trailer under the tarp you have tied to it, who knows and who cares....my only observation is that if it is stored outside, you need to remove anything that might hold water and lead to rust and you need to set the landing leg on something to get any water that gets in there to exit the drain at the rear.
If you have had duckboards or plywood or something like that, you may have rubbed through the paint on the high spots so before you cover it up, be sure to lightly sand, prime and repaint any bare metal.
Hey, its up to you to either put something in there or not!
