Question:

What height from floor to the the E-TRACK do you recommend. I will use it for general moving i.e. furniture occasionally. 3 ft. off of floor is good for somethings while it is not good for other. 4 ft. is good for some but not for other. I would install 2 tracks on each wall but I need advice on how high up the wall to install E_TRACK. Thanks so much for your time

There isn't a specific height from the trailer floor recommended to mount the E-Track. My gut feeling is that if 3 feet is too low and 4 feet is too high then 3-1/2 feet might be perfect.

Another option is to mount E-track pieces vertically along the walls of the trailer so you have more height adjustment (but less front to back adjustment). You would likely need at least 4 pieces of E-Track for this. You could use vertical E-Track # E19146. I have linked a video showing how we installed it in an enclosed trailer.
