Default Trailer Ideas

I have a 7 x 12 dual axle enclosed trailer set up for one bike. I am going to reconfigure it for two.

Looking for ideas for the interior, shelves, lighting, storage, ect.
I have 4 pieces of E-track on the way and have already painted the floor with a porch paint.

Pics would be great

Too tight to put to much on the floor. I actually installed two windows and a roof a/c but left the floor uncluttered. When I put both bikes in mine and I am in the process of tie down it gets crowded on the floor. I installed 115 volt lighting to augment the 12 volt system inside. Been thinking about installing short shelf around the top on all three sides for small objects. I have a carpet that I unroll to make it more comfortable when the bikes are unloaded for camping. Trailer pulls easier and is very comfortable to sleep in compared to my Prowler camper.

In addition to overhead lighting you might want to run some lower on the sides. Much more useful if you have to work on a bike.
Also it in nice to have loops or hooks to hold tie down straps where you can have one end in the anchor and reach the other end while seated on the bike.

That's a real nice trailer.

Definitely shelves running around the top and a bench with shelves in the front if you have the room.

How about staggering the chocks? The lighter, narrower bike up front to the left, and the wider, heavier bike back to the right. It gives you a little more room to work on the bikes and for strapping them down. You can alternate the storage areas opposite where the bikes are.

Also, in the unlikely event of a tie-down "mishap" Both bikes don't get wiped out.
