Its in there. The consoles on left set up as a 4x8 work table and have arms that pull out and support table saw. Miter stand slide s in same "garage" just above . its wired with 110 and has compressor built in..(tank drains through floor) .more pics shortly
 
To answer your question...yes and no....we have task specific boxes and all basic material to remodeling and finish carpentry....and room to spare. Its really been a process of finding out what we want (just added 16d hand drive nails in a dedicated bin) and what we don't need ( extra spools etc for shaper/sander going out ). Its organized to the point if I'm missing something it tells me .
 
I'm still in the process of getting organized. I've got a few lboxxes so far. I'd prefer to go the ridgid route like tnt did but I can't get then in canada.
 
As soon as I get around to buying a trailer, we'll do the floor like this one. A couple of cabinets and few bins and we'll be completely organized.

Except for the big huge pile of crap in the shop.

I used a 5x8 for 6months. It was no fun at all. Moved to a 7x16 for a bit and it was massive then got a 7x14 and it's just right.

I currently use a 6x12 outfitted with a side of cubby holes on one side and about 10 desalt tough system boxes on the other. Have the table saw, miter saw and about everything else in there as well. It's small but decently organized and easy to fit most places I go.

I down graded from a 8x16. And yes that was also massive and currently sits at the shop as storage.
 
Here's my disgrace of a trailer. I was really hoping this was a trailer give away. I could go for a larger one. This 5x8 isn't cutting it.
At least you have a trailer... Look at what I've forced myself to deal with :D

Organization is the best way to make use of a smaller trailer. I know some guys with 20'+ trailers who have less tools than I do by quite a bit. They don't know half the stuff they have in their either.

Who put the tools inside of this 5x8 trailer? It's going to be hard to afford a better setup with this kind of thing going on. Nothing like making sure tomorrow get's off to a bad start. Not to mention the treatment of the levels.

Yes I am ashamed of the state of my trailer and truck. Hopefully I'll have time to organize the trailer this afternoon, and I'll tell the rookie that I will loose my mind on him if he doesn't put things back where they were grabbed from.

I had the thing in mint condition before I started framing a duplex for this guy. And it stayed pretty clean until we left for the next house. Need to get in the habbit of not just throwing everything in on the last day just to get out and onto the next place.
