I am on a much smaller scale that most because i just have no need for a big trailer but this is what i have that works for me and my 08UC
5 x 10 cargo
Condor wheel chock mounted with steel backing plate.
6-6k lbs D-ringd in the floor with steel backing plates.
6 Big Daddy Powertyes 2" ratchet straps with built in soft tie.
I made a 2k trip and checked it often and never even had to adjust the straps. I had an idea to mount a back-up camera inside the trailer and the view screen inside the truck just to watch the bike while traveling.
I don't go on trips without my wife and she is not interested in long trips on the bike so this is the compromise.

If you have a v-nose and the inside is finished then mounting the cabinets and shelves are easy. I put a lowes corner cabinet in the upper part of the v-nose and then some peg board on the side for tools. My wife also got me a folding aluminum table/shelf for my birthday a couple years ago, works well and holds a couple rolls of shop towels. I also made a coat hanger under the v-nose cabinet.
Mines a 7x12 Horton Hauler with an extra 3 foot v-nose and the motorcycle package that has the trailer sitting lower and the rear inside slopes down so its easier to load lower bikes.

Get a Harbor Freight motorcycle chock. $30-$40.
http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=96349
It is removable very easily, just leaves the mounting plate behind. That way the trailer can be used for something besides bikes when needed. The chock will stand a full bagger up without a problem.
Best tie down equipment I have found is E-Track. I set up a full 7X14 trailer for under $300.00. That includes 3 full length strips down the floor, 2 full strips 30 inches up both walls, all the end caps, and 12 "O" ring tie downs. A bit of overkill on my part, but my stuff stays secure.
