Hunting Travel Trailer

I picked up a Coachmen Viking express 9.0td. The bed is only 6ft long.

I don't have a hunting trailer but I do have a short story and some advice. Reading this thread brought back a great memory from my teenage years.

During my second year of elk hunting, my dad got the idea to clear the tools out of his 6x10 enclosed trailer and use it to sleep in. We could only hunt weekends and the mountains were a 2.5 hour drive away. He'd get off work on a Friday, we'd eat dinner, pack up, and then head out. It always sucked trying to find a spot, clear all the rocks and setup tents in the dark. My dad figured the trailer would be much more comfortable.

The first night was okay but the air got stuffy and it was hard to not wake each other up everytime one of us moved. We kept a door cracked open to keep the air fresh without letting in a bunch of cold.
The next evening, we ate 3 lbs of bear sausage for dinner and read for awhile. It was about the time we were both falling asleep that my dad cut the first fart. Let me tell you, I've smelled some horrible things in my life but that air biscuit he let fly stands out in my memory as one of the top 5 worst smells.

And it was just the first of many....from me and him.

We ended up having to leave both doors wide open and shivered all night from the cold. It was a horrible night and we never used the trailer again.

My advice, gentlemen, is never eat bear sausage in a close confined space and make sure your trailers have good ventilation.

Hope this helps!
