Hey guys I picked up a 7x12 Enclosed Trailer. I am wanting to set it up for Moto over the winter. If you have one set up or have seen something nice looking post a picture or pictures up. I am just looking for some ideas. I bought pretty much a base trailer.

This is my 6'x10' Haulmark. It just had the typical thin luan on the walls and plywood on the floors, as all do. I gutted it down to bare metal, installed 3/8" plywood on the walls for strength, then covered the plywood with the finishing panels for a smooth paintable surface.
The bench at the nose is obviously really useful. Under that is a small box for a battery to power the LED interior lights.
The driver's wall has Gladiator tracking with the cabinet you see, and the metal tracking down low is great for securing quite a bit of stuff.
The floor is the OEM plywood, but with an epoxy coating (I have an epoxy flooring business). Pretty awesome for keeping it clean.

Hey KGASpeed, hope you dont mind me asking, is there any special prep/primer needed for the epoxy flooring to stick to plywood?

Don't mind at all, and no, I just sanded the plywood with 80g & 120g to make sure it was smooth, clean and able to accept the epoxy. It will soak into the wood quite a bit, so be prepared to put it down heavy.
When I first built the trailer, I just used "porch and floor" oil-based paint from Home Depot. That actually works fine, but its not nearly as durable as the epoxy.

I just finished my 7x12 motocross trailer
The bench slides out to fit a twin bed mattress for over night races.

Picked up my 7 x 10 today. It's only 6' 6'' inches tall so it fits in my garage. Time to start setting it up. Here's the details.
7 x 10, wheels inside box
2 front doors, one on each side
50 gallon water tank with pump and hose bib
Dome light with wall switch
