A year ago, my wife suggested I invest in a rocket trailer. (After I hauled my 60 pound upscale Death Star to a launch in Wisconsin, sticking out the sunroof of her car.) I ended up with a 6' x 10' vee-nosed trailer, which has been great. Rear ramp, side door, stand-up interior height, lots of room for stuff, but I still find myself packing in tubs and getting less organized as the launch progresses. I just got back from LDRS XXX, where I had the good fortune to see a few great trailers with built-in storage and/or work areas. What I think I would like is a bunch of storage drawers, with a work surface over the top. Like a small desk. I anticipate the usual launch site activities... assembling motors, ejection charges, cleaning casings, etc. So, before I spend a bunch of time making something, I thought I'd poll the membership and see what, if anything, you guys (and gals) would deem essential in a small, portable work station. I don't want to add a lot of weight, or lose a lot of volume, so it needs to be somewhat efficient. What have you seen, built, used, liked, dis-liked, wished for, etc. Lighting? Drawer size, depth. Cubby holes. Useful features? Unnecessary features. Wasted space. Pictures would be great, as would links to sites of related ideas. Thanks. Sather
