I am sure others will post up,heres mine. Went to Home Depot,spent less than $100 on their white,wire mesh type closet type shelving in bulk 10 ft or so lengths along with the correct brackets and hangers.I put my helmets,gloves and boots up there,hang coats on the front,everything has a place.

Man - go to dennis Kirk and buy the black plastic track grabbers 6 for $45.00 better than the red-neck looking OLD track screwed down to the ramp thingy ...that's old school
shelve idea
On my buddies trailer we got some cubicle shelves and hung them one with the drop front panel and one without. on the one without we got a strip of aluminum and put it accros the front to keep things from sliding out then put a bunge cord accross the front ablve the aluminum 3" strip to hold larger objectts in it.

Powermadd sells those grips for $20 for 6.
Home Depot has those prefinished white cheap azz cabinets but look great in trailers.
Northern tool has big "J" hooks for about $.79. I got those to hang coats, tie downs, helmets and other stuff. I picked up some extra tie down rings that screw into the floor for $.25 apiece on closeout. They also have puck style LED lights in case you need to add extra lighting to your trailer.
Good Ideas!!
I like the ideas for the Hifax cleats. I have been trying to think of something simple to use there. Keep the ideas coming!
I already did the Lowes cheapy coat hooks too. I am thinking of carpet samples to stand on while changing.
I have already done the epoxy garage floor paint with sand in it. Thanks Noob, it works great.

I wish I could remember the name of the product but I bought it at Fred Meyer.
It's basically panels that attach to the inside walls that looks like horizontal planking (Plastic) and then you can buy all sorts of wire baskets and hooks of all kinds that just snap into place on the panels.
There are larger baskets that can hold helmets and boots, smaller ones for all the little incidentals and hooks for backpacks and riding gear.
The baskets are deep enough to keep helmets from bouncing out on the more rough roads into the parking areas too.
I don't think I even have any decent pictures of it but it works really well.
All open (Basket) on the bottoms so helmets and such have airflow to dry out.
I guess I need to take some pictures.

Just took some pictures.
Don't pay any attention to the mess in the trailer, I store my studs in there and I'm in the middle of some detailing, waiting for snow!
Basket racks on the left side...
A little closer on the right side with coat and backpack hooks...
The heater, tool cabinet and just out of sight is the port-a pooper!

A old lawn chair with a hole cut in the seat could make a nice porta pooper
we picked up a 12,000 BTU propane furnace and put it in the front/top corner of the trailer and ran some duct w/ vents down one side so it blows onto whatever is hanging.
its SOOO nice to dry your gear during lunch!!
oh yea, a microwave is nice too!!

All are good ideas. Are you guys running the 120V stuff off of a converter or a generator?
Ski guides are nice as shown...
Used a late '70s NOS all rubber (no clips!) track cut up for the ramp door. Someone was probably looking for that new track for a resto project and I cut it in half!
Also have a screwdriver like rack on the wall to hang the tie-down straps.
Chunks of old hyfax (spaced 15" apart to match both 3" and 2.52" track pitches) are screwed crossways to the floor to give the big paddles something to grab.
And of course everything has stainless screws. Rust sucks.
