I've had fold-up benches in a few different trailers. Didn't bother with them in this one - started using some good folding chairs instead & actually like them better since we can all sit in a circle and aren't limited to bench space.

I have E-track on the wall on one side & the front & just keep them in place with a bungee cord when we're travelling.

I feel Like I better reply to this one, as I love my trailer

- Heater, Insulated Walls, Floors, and Ceiling.
- Venting and Fans for air circulation, aids drying
- Lots of coat racks for drying gear.
- Boot Dryers/warmers!
- TV, DVD player, 110 and 12volt surround sound stereo systems
- Electric Fire place, sets the ambiance
- Full Service fold down Bar, with aunt jemina's and parm
- Solo Cup Dispenser, well you know why
- Lots of plug ins inside and out
- Underfloor tire storage, hate when they are in the way
- Fold down chairs
- Couple of windows, so nice haves can see the party
- Doors!, Man door, Back and Front doors, screen door, fuel doors
- Lots of lighting, 110 and 12volt so you can see when fixing ****!
- A multi-color Disco Ball
- Floor Drain, no one likes walking in water and wet bags
- Helmet holders, no rolling!
- Cup holders
- Ski Slippers, keep carbides from wrecking your expensive floors
- 12volt cig lighter and USB plug ins, charge ****
- Folding out couch and beds, need a place for Jeff to sleep
- Ski Guides on ramps, cause you always have that one buddy that misses
- Over head cabinets
- Lots of places to tie down things, cause you are now the guy with the trailer and probably will be hauling stuff other than sleds.
Probably missing something, but all must haves.

Great idea with the folding chairs. They want serious coin for the benches. This is why I like S&M.

Forced air all the way I run a 42,000btu. Gold away cots and table with folding chairs. Convection kerosene for back up heat a c02 sensor is also a good idea saftey first. I take a gen with me and s back up 2 60lb propane bottles and run a battery charger / tender to keep batter up. Sledding in the kakwa

Anyone run an electric heater with a genset?

I was wondering about that too. The propane convection heater produces Co2 so don't think u want that if sleeping in the rig. Most newer electric heaters are pretty Efficient. Would look into that.

It isn't often I would need heat in the trailer but once in awhile it would be nice

Wall mount 1500W electric heater with 2 separate 12v fans for air movement. I don't typically dry out gear overnight in the trailer, but it sure is nice if you need to thaw something out or work on something. Everything runs together off a single 120v 15A circuit, so if the hotel has a spot to plug in your truck, heating the trailer is never an issue without a genset even.

One of the questions I saw, was will the truck charge the battery while driving. The answer is only if your wiring is set up to do so. A proper charge will need a connection to the charging system and minimum 8ga wire to supply power. The bumper plug and the 12v 18g wire it uses is not enough. Ideally when you do this you also use an isolator as well as a reset circuit breaker (40 amp is usually plenty).

My other suggestion for the trailer would be RV style man doors.
