Walk-in Cooler.. Trailer Build

[CMF]

First time seeing this thread, this is awesome. I plan to eventually build out a cargo trailer into a toy hauler/RV. I plan on putting a big chest freezer in, but this is interesting.

A big chest freezer will work for most applications especially if it's only a couple of people. All I know is every time I use it, I have a big grin on my face. It was time consuming, and the build cost is probably a lot more now than when I did it but, it was worth every penny! I saw multiple camps drop a buck and within 24-48 hours the whole camp was gone because of the worry of meat spoiling. We had 2 hunters tag out opening day and they stayed until the last tag was filled which was an epic hunt in my books. On the way home I had the thermometer receiving unit in the cab with me and it never dropped below 38 degrees on the 6-hour drive . If you're serious and need help don't hesitate to reach out to me

Regardless of cost that build is cool as hell and will allow you to hunt extended periods of time without worry. I say Bravo sir!

This is fantastic! You are going to send me down quite the rabbit-hole!

You're welcome. I was in the rabbit hole for a long time before I built it, and I'm still in there trying to figure out the details for the rear camping quarters.

Awesome build.

Do you mind sharing what you have there so far?

It's nothing impressive, just something in the mean time till I figure out exactly what I want. Mounted E track down the side for the removable drop down bunks and added a drop down table off the Dutch door.

This is one of the best threads I've read. Great work and appreciate you taking the time to document the process so we could all learn a little something. I have been brainstorming a stationary cooler build for years now and i am about to take the plunge. I'll get some pics soon and start a new thread so as not to hijack this thread.

Thank you. All i can say is you won't regret it

Just got back from a 2nd season elk hunt that didn't disappoint. I have never really run the cooler in this cold of weather but the temps averaged 30-50F for a high and 20-30F for a low.. the cooler pretty much was stable and held 33-34 degrees the whole time through the highs and lows throughout the days. The bonus i saw was when it hit 20F at night, the meat didn't freeze
3 bulls hangin with room for more

That is an awesome build

how much weight did you add to the tongue on this build?

Honestly i have no idea. I've debated taking it down to the local truck scale and figuring it out. I'll keep you posted when ever i can make it happen
