I gotta go with option C as well more counter top space and more floor space as well plenty off room for an air mattress or a second person to share your pimped out pit space.

Looks really good!! I have the same size pit trailer also and you have given me a couple of ideas to add to mine as well!! Thanx for the step-by-step information. I do suggest to place your cabinets in a position that will distribute the load evenly across your axles. I have my storage in the front and bench/storage on one side and I am getting un-even tire wear. I now put my generator on the other side while traveling for better weight distribution. Just a little FYI or .02 cents.

I concur. I plan to strap my generator, compressor and whatnot towards the front right near the door to balance the load when moving.

I'm motivated now... bidding on a trailer on Ebay now... we'll see if I win it...

It is a little different though.

I say C, the largest problem with A is the lack of leg room under the bench. If both you and a friend or two are using your trailer then at least one person (not you of course ) will be working with their legs up against the drawers.

Someone could also sleep under the bench in C if need be. Besides that C just lookms more pimpish. (now THAT did it.... )

Driving skills? What's that? I'm more like a crash tester... so yes, he DOES have a valid point!

Back on topic: You'll probably want a generator to run your AC and lights... and of course an air compressor for cleaning cars is nice...

Check this out: http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/w...4967_200344967

2300 watt (2800 peak) generator with built in air compressor. $399.99 at Northern Tool.

I also like C, but for a different reason... more "under counter" space for knees... more people can work on their cars at the same time.

I already got a air compressor and a Generac 7550 generator so I'm good in the blowing shitz off and power generation departments

I just thought the one I posted was cool because it has both a generator (which does both 120v AC and 12v DC!) and an air compressor. Will it be noisy? Hmmm... haven't heard one run, but the chances are it will. Lots of other noisy ones too, so I'm not gonna worry about it.
