Question:
On a 6 x 12 enclosed cargo trailer how far out from the walls would you mount the track on the floor? How far up from the floor would u mount the 1 row and the 2nd?

The beauty of the E-Track systems like the Erickson # E19148 is that they are completely universal so you can set them up to what suits your needs best. If you're planning on securing a vehicle then you'll want to place the ones on the floor where your tires will sit so that you can easily secure them with straps like # 77314. For the ones on the walls I'd just take whatever cargo you plan on securing and trying to locate the tracks where they will be able to secure that cargo the best.
