Thanks rojigga it does get pretty messy from time to time but I like to have room to move and it is also nice for hauling lumber etc.

I really appreciate seeing different trailer setups since I'm in the midst of designing a new rig for my cube van. The big problem I have is that I'm moving out of my shop to a smaller location so my van is now my workshop. Trouble is I have minimum 20 boxes/rolls of wire along with 12/10/6/5/2/2 foot ladders which I refuse to mount outside since I hate cleaning them before bringing them into finished homes. After you factor in a good stock of a variety of steel strut and conduit there isnt a heck of a lot of room left in my 16 foot "wearhouse on wheels".
I'l post pics onece my construction is complete, keep the pics comming.

Anyone with trailer advice???
Just purchased a 7x14 trailer with ramp doors. Anyone have any design ideas for shelving in the inside? If so.. any pictures you can throw on here would be great. I am a GC that refused to buy a trailer for years based on principle.... Well... Me emptying out the back of my truck everyday alone when my employees were late everyday got old. Thanks in advance.

 The other 3 pages didn't give you enough ideas - pull a search, there are a few other threads dealing with the same stuff.
So what "principle" prevented you from buying a trailer, but still allows you to employ & accept having "employees were late everyday"?

This is the cleanest its been in a LONG time, had a nice April snowstorm so I got a chance to get it cleaned out. Thinking about adding a ladder rack on the roof, wondering everybodys thoughts on them. How do you access the ladders, do you built a ladder above the tongue? Or grab a step ladder out of the trailer? Thanks for any suggestions!

I put my ext ladders & alum planks on top of mine & I just grab a 6' step out of the trailer to access them. Nice trailer!

Very nice setup
For the ladders - You might try out a system like this http://primedesignracks.com/ - there are a few more out there
Quick trick for the paper towels that love to unroll completely while your moving the trailer or the doors are open & its windy - grab an empty 2 liter bottle, cut off the top & bottom & make one cut down the side - when you go to move the trailer / slap it on the roll & it won't unroll on you

Tom,
Looks like Castro on the side of your trailer.

Hey great thread, lots of cool ideas. Keep in mind your weight though. Here in Ontario the Ministry of Transport looks at "combined weight" that's your truck and trailer combined. Was at the dump last week and the scale weight was 9,240lbs. and my maximum is 10,000lbs. If I load up to start a job I'll be over for sure.
