Default Got a 6x12 trailer - now what

I'm looking for interior photos of how some of you have configured your trailer for transporting jets. I just purchased a 6x12 trailer with a side door and fold down ramp rear door.

thanks,

JR

JR,

There are tons of great examples of trailer outfitting on several of these forums. Here is one to get you started.

One bit of advice on trailers is donot place anything on the outside of the trailer that would give away the contents as being valuable. More than a few guys have loaded up the outside of their trailers with vendor stickers and come back to find either no trailer or no contents; Some with no stickers have had the same results but why temp fate.

Here's what you need to do:

1) Put jets in there.

2) Go fly them.

3) Land them.

4) Put them back in and take them home.

Poor JR - brand new vinyl cutter and being told he shouldn't use it .... sigh... like a kid with candy and can't eat it.

Yep Ron has a point and what I had intended to do from the get go.

Thanks for the other link, many examples of how to layout a trailer.

If your trailer has a battery install an alarm if you are worried about theft.

I've got a 7x14 on order. Took a look at the string mentioned above, but, 95% of them were set up for 30-40% gassers that have those nice big shock absorbing landing gear to set on. A lot of our jets have to sit on the fuse or if they are on the gear you end up destroying the springs prematurely. How about some pics of trailers set up specifically for jets?
