On an 85* day it would reach over 110* inside with the doors closed. I installed 2-14" roof vents that dropped it down to 100*. I then installed 2-7" radiator fans (40.00 from EBAY) in the floor to suck cool air in from the bottom of the trailer forcing hot air out the roof vents. It now stays only a few * above outside temp. I installed an Interstate deep cycle marine battery, alarm system, a 100W solar panel (I bought on EBAY for $159.00), I installed a rack system that you can walk past the 1 side as it is easier to load bigger planes without having to go around the front to grab it while someone holds it from the rear. I also used 2" upholstery foam for the planes to sit on and absorb bouncing. I also installed 4- 30" 12V LED interior lights that take little to no power to run. My panel will keep up with running 2 fans all day, full time alarm system and a 500W power inverter and lights at night. I also gave it a little wrap job!!
Now That is what I like! I have the same idea for the outside, only with a big Corsair and P-61. On the inside, what did you use for tracks on the floor? I like the idea for shelves, and the cabinets. My trailer looks very similar to yours minus an axle, is it a Duracraft? Only thing different is the aluminum frame around the rear door, otherwise it all looks the same. Eventually mine will be under a car port, once I clear out a space in the garage for the Fusion.
