My trailer is a tandem axle 7 x 14-foot V-nose with an additional 6 inches of interior height.
Minimal lumber storage. I want it to be a tool and work center, not a materials hub. Still, you’ve got to have some stuff lying around.
I keep sheet goods on the left side. If I haven’t told you the importance of setting up a work table—legit 4x8 table where it’ll fit—I will. That’s a story for another day. Note how earth work tools are wrangled.
I can see everything easily.
This security device is my invention. It's called TDS LockJaw.
Trailer before tools
A solar-powered roof fan keeps it cooler in summer. Storage on the right can also accommodate stepladders.
I’m going to let you guess what this is for.
Plumbed, wired, organized. This saves me untold headaches and wasted time.
Did I mention I can see everything? I know when stuff is missing or needs to be put back. Also, the trailer is plumbed for air and wired for shore or battery power so when I plug the trailer in, everything inside—chargers, tools—is energized all at once. The extra 6 inches of ceiling height pays off just in clamp storage and clearance under the LED lights.
Drawers and bins hold all the little things.
Rolling tool store. I know where everything is.
This level of organization also notifies me that I’m running low on this or that. Running out of—or stopping to run out for—something is not a regular occurrence.
Command center in the V-Nose with right side entry door open.
A bench in the V-nose is a great place to stand and work or read a plan.
Large, bulky items stow under the bench or away securely.
Bungees hold the bins.
