How you arrange it depends mostly on your own situation and method of operation. How many machines, line drivers, blowers and so on are you hauling? How about the tow vehicle what do you want in it? Is it dedicated or also personal vehicle? One size don't fit all. A couple things we have found helpfull is a tongue mounted tool box on the trailer and a roll out platform in the truck bed especially if you use a shell cover on the truck. We haul all our cones and paint in the truck. It has a shell so can be locked and the roll out is a life saver to get the paint cans out. The side door on the trailer is a great place to hang tools and stuff you use often. Our best add on was a porta potti mounted on the front wall of the trailer just high enough two paint machines could roll under it. It has been a life saver several times.

I think this may be the most important item to pack in the trailer

At the risk of sounding stupid, why did you mount you Porta Potty that high?

That's mine and we are planing on lowering it. Just pulled it down on the floor when needed but then was to low. Going to mount it where it can be used and some kind of curtin so don't have to close the ramp door.

Yah, I was thinking about putting a shower curtain along the top of the ramp door or a tad further inside in case I didn't want to close my ramp door all the time?
