So this has been a bit of a work in progress but I haven’t seen much online specifically for hunting so figured I’d post this here and see what setups you guys have (so I can steal your ideas) or just general thoughts or things I could improve.
The trailer is a 16’ V-nose with a fold down rear door. Bought it as an easier way to transport the sxs and camping stuff for the family but then I saw Jordan Budd’s trailer conversion and that got my mind wandering.
So far it’s pretty basic, no water or electricity yet but that may be in the cards for the future. For power, I have a goal zero 1000 with two 100W solar panels which works pretty well for what I need to charge. It has 6 of those push button battery lights and two strings of battery powered LED light strings which do alright to light the interior.
Using a buddy heater right now (making sure the windows are cracked and two fans are running on low while in use) for heat and a little two burner Coleman stove for cooking. I’d definitely like to do the direct vent heater in the future though. I ran a plug with a cover in the floor to run outside for the propane tank line which works pretty well I think so far. I built the lower wooden cabinet but the upper metal ones were in it when I bought the trailer. The bed is just an E-track system with 2x4’s underneath and plywood on top. I have a blow up mattress on top of that with a bottom blanket and my sleeping bag on top of that. There’s also another set of E track above so it can be converted into a bunk bed if needed.
I installed a 6’ fold down countertop I bought from lowes and another smaller fold down table for eating and whatnot. I currently have it out on its maiden voyage for a little blacktail camp my buddies and I threw together last minute so we’ll see how it does here before elk season.
Feel free to shoot me any improvements or ideas you have or your setup if you have one!
