I bought a 6 X 10 V-Nose with two interior lights, a spare, side door with locking bar and latch lock, fold down rear door with two locking bars, and a foot for the trailer jack for $2480 late last year.
The interior was plain brown, but I have already painted it white so I can see better in it at night. I also bought three chocks and five sets of mounting hardware just in case I need them later on. I also got thirty feet of E-track and a various assortment of E-track hardware. I got thrifty and spent about $50 at Lowe's for two 6 X 9 rolls of that black and white tape-applied "race" linoleum. They have it in pre-cut rolls for about $20 or so.
If you have more than one bike or two smaller bikes, then I would suggest you buy a 7 ft wide trailer or opt for a 12 ft length one. Although mine is 11.5 ft in the center, it doesn't leave you much room for tools, gear, and other stuff. When I put in both bikes, I offset them with the longer bike on the left, so I can open the side door and inspect both bikes or get my gear on the shelf I put in the front. I also bought a fire extinguisher at both entrances and put some small eye hooks under the shelf to hang my leathers on.
Look around at some local races. That is where I got the ideas for what I did to mine.
