For storage I like plastic file boxes.
They stack if you need it but if you put them side by side you can stack more
stuff on top.. I just purchase 2 for $9.00 at Office Depot.

I don't know what you are pulling
your 2-horse trailer with, but instead of sleeping in your dressing area you
might save your pennies for a roof-top tent like I have been using for the past
5 years on my SUV that I use to pull my 2-h Brenderup.
(That leaves the entire trailer tackroom and inside of the
SUV for cargo.) Check out www.autohomeusa.com The
distributer is in No. Cal.
and they ship it to your door. It's cheaper than a different trailer or tow
vehicle.
I have the Columbus
model, because when opened, the higher end is 5' tall, and I can kneel or stand
to get dressed. The double-bed sized tent (they also have
larger models) has been used on top of a VW Bug! So even if you
have a truck, you can use it over the truck bed, leaving
the underneath as storage.
The tent is mounted on a Thule
rack with 4 bolts. I did it myself. The base of the tent is a (very
comfy) memory-foam mattress, so set-up only requires popping the
fiberglass lid and crawling in with sleeping bag. My down mummy bag keeps
me snug in any weather, including snow and rain (Just make sure the side flaps
are not tucked inside!)

I want to survive in my little 2-horse bumper pull for as long as I can, but as
I am slowly accumulating more and more stuff, I'm realizing that I need to come
up with a better organizational system in my rear tack area. Maybe even
put something together in my dressing area for rarely used items (I sleep
there, so try to keep that as a "clean" and dry area for myself
;-) I thought I could get one of those plastic drawer things they have at
BB&B for the rear tack area to give me a little more efficient use of the
vertical space (and also keep things off the floor, which I've wanted to do
ever since my calm coat oil spilled all over that area, it was a mess, ha
ha). Anyone have any "cheap" ideas or things they've done
themselves to increase the storage capacity of a small space in their trailers?
