What do you keep in your trailer box?

[CZSteve]

We bought a couple Sea-Doo's over the winter on a double trailer.
I see most people install a utility box on their trailer.

What stuff do you keep in the box?
Life jackets seem to be be the most obvious thing but that doesn't seem to make sense from the stand point of I'd imagine you wouldn't want to 'KEEP' the jackets in the box as they wouldn't dry out properly.

Using the box for jackets until you get back home and then out for drying?
Other stuff?

Thanks,
Steve

Wheel chalks, grease gun, oil, jumper cables, trailer hitches...... That's all that comes to mind.

What does the CZ in your name stand for? The old Czech dirt bike?

CZ is also a manufacturer of firearms...

I keep the life jackets in there, spare propane for my grill, ski rope/tube/pump, gas can.

The gas can is only kept in there for transport and storage while we're at the lake. The life vests come out when we get home and hung up to dry out. When they get dried out, they go back in the box. Same with the tube. Gas can comes out when we get home also, don't want the jackets smelling like gas, and its much safer in a well ventilated area like the garage.

I need to add a lug wrench to the list. Just realized the lugs on the trailer are bigger than the tow vehicles.

Don't forget some tools if you need to replace spark plug, and extra plugs too.

I have a few CZ pistols; well built, reliable, and decent price point.

I tried to put in the .wmv relating to shopping in Texas, but it turned out to be invalid for upload.
