Thanks for your thoughts on work trucks vs. vans. Would anyone be willing to share their set-up in an enclosed trailer? 7’6″x 10′ or similar? What size is best for a two man remodeling/renovation crew? I want to be able to walk in it upright!!!! Single or dual axle? Most of the time I will be able to park off street. Pics would be great. Thanks much.

the 12' wells cargo i have is one of the best purchases i ever made.
we do residential new framing/trim/siding with a crew of 3-5
the trailer allows me to leave everything on site for the guys, whether i'm there or not.
ladder rack on top is a must, as well as tandem axle. i prefer the double doors on the rear vs. a ramp ( easier in and out)
i'm considering buying another, one for framing, one for trim.
tip: I modified the back door lock after being broken into. we now have the puck style lock common on many work vans.

forgot how to attach pix.
I have 7 x 14 Haulmark dual axle and would be lost without it. I drag it with a Silverado 1500 with no problem. I keep a small pile of tools in the back seat of the PU
and keep the bed clear for materials or trash. The major tools stay in the trailer and the trailer usually stays on the site.
Ido residential remodeling.
