Cargo Solutions for a 7 x 16-Foot Enclosed Trailer
Question:
We are purchasing a new 7x16foot enclosed trailer for our Boy Scout Troop. The trailer is bare and we plan to outfit it with stainless steel rack from Costco for storage. I need a way to secure six racks, five 2x2x4foot patrol boxes, four dutch ovens, several plastic totes, and six 5 gal propane tanks. All heavy items will be on the floor. I was thinking about the E-track system. Does this seem to you to be a good way to go? Thanks.

Erickson's E-Track Cargo Control systems offer excellent flexibility at a moderate cost. Their E-Tracks are offered in several lengths, such as a 5-foot # E19148 for horizontal applications. Many types of accessories are offered as well, including tie-off rings like # 59131, D-rings like # E59143 and ratchet straps like # EM59136.
I have included links for both E-Track items as well as some interior trailer cargo control items.
