Re: Team Trailer Ideas?

Here are some things we did that have worked pretty well -

A small cargo box on the front. It has a jack, wheel blocks, and we keep the receiver bar and wire harness adapter in it.

Get a spare tire, a lug wrench and a jack. Get a spare tire mount if you can.
With a spare mount and the cargo box,all of this can be outside of your trailer.

Use D rings and put them on the floor and walls to strap things in. These are good because they fold "flat" and won't be sticking out to be caught on when not being used. You should be able to get them at a hardware store or trailer store. be sure they are screrwed into the frame material - not just the wood.

We put a few shelf brackets on one side wall, up high, and made an 8" wide shelf front to back. it is great for the team flag, banners, aluminum rod, etc.

Buy some good ratcheting straps and get a bag to keep them in and keep them in the trailer. Strap down everything. Don't rely on bungee cords. If something inside breaks loose, it can slide across the trailer and be damaged, or cause the trailer to swerve suddenly.

Have fun with your project. We are glad we got our trailer a few years ago - it has been a great addition to the team.
