Expert Reply:
Forest River, the maker of your Continental Cargo Tailwind enclosed trailer, produces many versions and sizes of the Tailwind enclosed cargo trailers and these can be equipped with any of several optional equipment packages for use with landscaping equipment, motorcycles, etc.
However, based on my research all versions use the same 3/8-inch plywood and 16-inch-spaced supports in their construction.
I suggest you check with Forest River using your trailer model and VIN number to find out if they have any specific guidance or restrictions on mounting interior hardware like Erickson E-Tracks. If you have an electronic stud finder this may help you locate the strongest structural points but in any case it is a good idea to check with the manufacturer.
You may also want to advise them what sort of weight load you're planning to apply to the E-Tracks in case they can offer a recommended type of fastener. Since 3/8-inch plywood does not provide too much material for a screw to grab they may suggest another fastener type for your trailer. It may be necessary to add some reinforcing material to the trailer interior to create a good mounting point.
