I've tried to keep my trailer relatively cheap and simple so far. My wife, dog, and I sleep in it during track weekends and it's also been nice not having to load every single thing up immediately prior to a weekend like I did with an open trailer. Most of this stuff just lives in the trailer now and very little actually needs to be unpacked between events. Even with almost two years using it, we still find things that we can optimize/upgrade every weekend we go out. It has 24' of floor space with a 18" V-nose. 10k axles and extended tongue.
Previous owner painted the ceiling, walls, and floor, installed 110v power and lights, and installed rooftop A/C unit (lifesaver during the summer!) with insulation paneling behind the wall coverings. I added the workbench and e-track, though some of the e-track is far from optimized...just been too cheap to buy more.
I added the extended ramp door for easier loading when time comes for a splitter. Also added a flap to cover the gap between the door and trailer floor. 30 gallons of fuel (20 gallons for car, 10 gallons for generator and truck emergency fuel) usually lives against the wall on the right. Behind the chairs strapped to the wall on the left I added a flip-up table with another mirrored on the right wall.
Coolers usually stack just to the right of the door. Corkboard for track map and weekend schedule. Previous owner also put a bunch of coat hooks up so we use those to hang my suit, rain jackets, or towels during the weekend.
Dedicated lightweight jack and a set of jack stands live next to the tool cart. Just basic handtools kept in the cart. Spare parts go in a rolling jobsite tote that gets strapped behind the car. Whiteboard for notekeeping, air storage tank for tire pressure adjustments. Pool noodles are for keeping the pop-up canopy covers tight when it rains so water doesn't pool and destroy all the supports.
The open spot under the workbench is for totes that hold bedding and air mattresses, food/snacks, changes of clothes, etc. The winch cable runs right between the totes and the cargo nets keep everything secured easily without having to deal with strapping everything down (the generator has its own strap just because it's on wheels and is heavy). Winch battery stored on shelf above it for floor space savings using some brackets and scrap wood I just had laying around. Another spare tire is mounted mirrored to the one in this picture. And most importantly (to my wife anyway) is the microwave. I also have a battery operated clock and AM/FM radio that mount the the upper shelf once set up for the weekend. It's nice having the radio to listen to track announcements instead of straining to hear the PA at large paddocks.
