Default trailer shelves/accessories

Got a few ideas of what I want to build, but I'm always open to steal other's ideas. Anybody have any pics?

good thread idea, I'm looking too. I built a shelf with storage underneath, but I need something overhead for stuff. CHEAP is a must.

I'll post photos of my shelf sometime.

i put in wood cabinets, BOY was that a Mistake. Never put cheap cabinets in. Was looking at some from Sears or Lowes, metal cabinets, Might be less expesive and better from from the top link.

Wood cabinets. need to use Marine grade locks to keep the doors and draws shut

i do like the normal size draws for smaller things



for an upper shelf I just used a wire closet shelf with a bungy cord to hold folding chairs and car cover in place

Don't forget about the floor storage. I had several storage bins made into the floor. Basically, I cut the wood in between the steel frame rails and welded sheet metal to the bottom and sides of those rails to make an in-floor box. I used the part that I cut out to make a trap door of sorts. I put heavy stuff like rotors, etc down in there. It works great!!!! Most trailer places will make these storage areas for about $250 each. It's well worth it!

Here's the first one we put in the cabin:


Plan to put to more on the front wall of the car area, and a big one over the top of the car using the trailer fenders for support.
