I hope there's some room left over to store some of my crap there.
He already looks after my 8x5 trailer!

That makes it his trailer, not yours
Im sure it will wind up storing plenty of your stuff. It usually starts with the phrase "Dad, can I borrow" and two years later you'll be scratching your head trying to remember where you last used it.

He can't use the trailer as neither of their vehicles have hitches. The arrangement is they can fill it and the rent for storing it is I will empty it.

I've given him a lot of gear over the last couple of years mainly via an excuse to upgrade (hand tools, compressor, grinder, Small table saw, bandsaw, angle grinder, circular). SWMBO thought I was being a nice Dad doing this. He also recently scored some of his two granddads hand tools plus birthdays etc have resulted in other gear as presents so he has more than enough to get started without borrowing from me.

They told their house and had to move out so they put most of their stuff into storage, the rest got stashed at various family members and I have the contents of his shed on my front veranda so it looks like a workshop. We also have their two dogs which together with our two dogs are slowing trashing the back garden. They just need to complete a bit of painting this weekend and hopefully they can move in next weekend.

Sounds like a great space. I think he wall have a lot of fun setting it up to his liking, and you should have fun helping.
