Default Let's see some enclosed trailer interiors

I'm shopping for a 24'-26' enclosed trailer. My budget won't allow for one with a complete custom finished interior so I'm looking for ideas. Home Depot cabinets, rubber flooring, painted walls, 12v LED lighting, flip down bed... What's in your trailer? Let's see some pictures.

Thanks.

That's within budget, right?

Maybe I can convince the wife to let me buy the toter instead of the new house that she's currently shopping for.

This is the interior of my 24'. The car is in the trailer, so you can see how much space I have to work with. The shelving was built by the person who crews for me. It is screwed to the trailer wall supports. Tire racks are on the floor so I do not have to do any lifting. The tires on the left are strapped to a section of easy track. The tires on the right are sitting in a base made of 2x4s & 2x8s and strapped down to prevent any bouncing. Brake rotors are stored on the floor under the tires on the right.

Tire capacity is 6 for car and 2 for trailer.

I prefer not having an interior by the trailer mfg. Cabinets do not give the visibility & flexibility I wanted.

I like the wooden tire rack. Hope you don't mind if I copy that.

I painted my trailer myself (20 ft) and painted bed armor on the floor, works awesome. Also put a truck bed tool box from Auto Zone in there. Fits a lot of stuff and allows me to store my tent. I have since the pictures below added overkill AC at 15k BTU and built my own extended ramps which fold out to my race ramps since my car is low clearance.

Oh, also double insulated with reflective insulation board and solar reflective panels on top of that. Holds temp pretty well. Fun projects.

I ALMOST bought the foldout sofa to bed from blazinbelltech but decided not to as I'm not going to be sleeping in the trailer much if at all this year. It's an awesome piece though.

But they have these hammock things at target for $100 I saw at the track this weekend. Great for between session naps.

I'm in the market as well. I'd really rather buy used (with all the goodies - A/C & heat, genset, winch, etc.) but the prices that I see aren't all that appealing to me...and then with the new trailers either it's bare bones or fully loaded. From what my eyeballs have seen the used trailers that are loaded up are not much cheaper than the new ones, at least around me (been looking on racing junk and craigslist). At this point I'm leaning towards getting a new/fully loaded trailer with everything I want, ie - ready to hit the track.

Eventually that's the route I went too. Ordered the trailer with all the goodies installed, mostly 110v electrical outlets and lights. I didn't go with the AC unit because a big fan does the trick during the summer days and it's Michigan, so the nights are quite comfy. No living compartment 'cuz the trailer is the hotel room at night.

My thinking is lining up with your way of thinking...

I'm looking at the fold out walls beds, etc. from https://www.blazinbelltech.com/furniture.html

The tracks we go to have showers/restrooms...I'm OK with it, hopefully the wife is on board too! Being in Texas, gotta have the A/C...and the heat...summer one day, winter the next LOL (seriously - Saturday was in the 80's and then Sunday was in the teens...crazy!).

Painted the wood siding black. Rhino Line floor and install treadplate on sides. Above and below the chrome treadplate is black treadplate (not shown)

Screamin Z,

Looks good. How much weight is the tread plate adding?

Not enough to worry about. Pretty flimsy stuff.

Bump, I wanna see more. I'm also curious why the tire racks are always in the front, I was thinking of putting one over the passengers fenders sitting directly over the car so as to not induce additional tongue weight since there'll be a bunch of other crap already contributing to that up there.

Mine is bare bones... trailer is a 20' ATC with a big v-nose and weighs less than my old steel 18' open deck.

Bought a new 2014 28' Continental Cargo Auto Master Super Stock car hauler over the weekend. Debated between 24' and 28' and decided that more length is better, especially when we add a golf cart to the mix along with all the tools, tires, air compressor, jacks, etc. Adding A/C, winch, battery, awning, E-track, bogey wheels, etc...just got to get the generator now. Not that I'm one to color coordinate but the wife likes the black trailer with our black truck...
