I just got this trailer on Tuesday. Still working on getting it all organized, and am getting the outside blasted with the logo and artwork by next week.
Any tips or suggestions???

Congrats man ! what’s that ? 5x8 ?
Small enclosed trailer is on my list, but got a ton of stuff to buy before that.
Having the pressure washing stuff dry and out of sight is awesome.
It also adds to image and professionalism.
Hope it makes you lots of $$
also let me know what kind of graphics are you looking to get and if you get a quote, let me have it. I might be able to help you on that if you can install it yourself, or if you want an installer I can put you in touch with someone in your area.
Yeah 5x8…problem is, it is gonna cost almost as much for the artwork as it did the trailer!!
When I seen CVG’s trailer I knew I had to have one. Does it look to cluttery inside- do you see anyplace I may be able to get more organization out of what I got?
Nice trailer Tory!
About the graphics you can great looking graphics without braking the bank, unless you paid $10 for the trailer
About space … I’d fix some shelving in the back of the trailer, where the reel is, you can get a lot of crap in a 2 or 3 tier shelving, can use milk crates like the one is holding the tuckers hose.
Pole storage is great on the roof, you can get one or both small ladders on the roof as well, Get creative Tony
Really cool trailer. I’d like to get one soon. If you don’t mind me asking what a ball park figure on a trailer of that size?
I’d have to install some more 12v lights for the interior, and also on the exterior. I pulled a trailer a lot when I was pressure washing. And there’s nothing worse then trying to back it up at dark with no lights. They’re super easy to hook up, too.
As far as storage, I’d put up a few shelves. I think I would also coat the bottom and at least a portion of the sidewalls with something like rhino liner to protect it from the water. When I get a trailer, I’ll have fancy ports on the side with quick connects for water in and pure water out.
Put a plasma and an air mattress in there and say goodbye to hotel bills! haha.
It costed 1840.00 out the door. It was 1560.00 without tax, and all the other stuff. What I dont like about it, is that the framing on it is very spaced…meaning that there are only so many wall anchor points to tap in to.
I was thinking about the pure water connections right from the side too. Problem is that the skin is a VERY thin sheet metal- well, aluminum I think because it is not magnetic- and I would have to weld or frame in a strong peice of metal on the inside for the hose bibs, so they would be strong enough to withstand the constant connects/disconnects.
As for the shelves- the back wall has absolutely NO backing to tap into to put shelves-also, how do I keep stuff on the shelf while the trailer is on the road and jumpin’ all over the place?
If you know of a good graphics place let me know. I payed some clown who talked a real good game 300 bucks just for the DESIGN and this is what this fool came up with–
Looks like he took about 10 minutes in photoshop and booked me 3 bills!
He wants 1300.00 for that. To put it on both sides and the back.
I am getting another estimate by monday, the person who does my cards. She told me possibly about 700.00. Now that is more the ball park I was thinking. I got the trailer here: Cargo Trailer | Enclosed Trailer | Utility Trailer | Trailers For Sale Phoenix and Mesa Arizona and they have the store all over the U.S.
I really wanted an artist to just get sick with it-
but this is what I want right here:
Same logo large on the nose, with the word Elite above it, the door in the back is 4x4, same wording-different placement. Much appreciated-
I don’t know if it is much help, but I am a huge trailer fan, and posted a video about it here:

I really like your logo graphic, one of the benefits of having a trailer is the “billboard space”. I really believe it can be a powerful tool. I watched craigslist for a very long time until I found just the deal I wanted on the trailer that would be HOA compliant (fit in the garage…) with a side door, ramp in the back, etc. Anyway, weclome to the trailer world, and if you ever want to talk shop, give me a call!
Tony I sent you a PM
Curt, that is an awesome set up. I was fighting the urge to call and wake you up this morning- ah screw it, you got kids…you gotta be up by now.
nahhh just call him, by that time probably his own kids woke him up already
One thing will help inside the trailer is paint it white !! It’s like haveing a light on !! Then put 12 v lights in it willrelly help !! Stan
Is that a 12v backpack battery in the first picture?
Yeah, it is. I was mad at it so it was on a time out.
Where do you guys get your spares?
Man, I need to get a trailer. Forget about towing it. (not practical on Seattle streets) I need it for storage. Another thing about Seattle, vary few homes have a garage space.
Sweet trailer Tony,
Nice call on the enclosed trailer. I’m slightly regretting my open utility trailer. You’re gonna be able to store so much more stuff in the enclosed thing and feel so much more organized. Get some shelves that don’t have to be hung. Throw a bungee on across the shelves space to keep chems from falling out, etc.
Good going.
