Saving this for later (don't tell my wife!). Hoping my son keeps growing his interest in hunting so we can start planning some out of state hunts.

I assume it's pretty easy to hose out between uses as needed?

Honestly i really don't need to hose it out. Putting the 5x7 cheap bimart tarp down catches all the blood, once season is over i pull the rubber mat out and mix a solution of bleach and water in a spray bottle and just spray everything down and clean up with paper towels. Pull the roof vent plug and open the vent and if the wind is'nt blowing to hard i leave the door open for 24 hours to air it out and it's ready to go for the next adventure. (y)

Awesome build man. My wheels are definitely turning after reading your thread.
If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask. There were a couple times i had to slam on the brakes during the build for a little bit to re analyze what i was working on. For example if i had a list A-Z and try to do it in that order i would've been in a world of hurt. Some times working on EFGH and realize i need to partially start TUV to finish EFGH and while doing that start P so TUV doesn't screw me. You get what im hinting at, there were a lot of late nights just writing down my steps so i didnt screw my self in the future during the build and in the far future of actually having it 100% done.

I definitely get what you’re hinting at I’ve had to back track on projects before and it sucks.

This is a great post. We have been looking at doing a cooler in our barn build in the next year or two but the idea of putting it into a trailer instead has me really thinking about the options.

There isn't going to be much progress on the trailer this year. Money is a little tight right now but, one thing i had to get done before the next hunting season was a new set of skins on the trailer. I absolutely hate dealing with tires on the side of the road/HWY or out in the middle of BFE. The tires were getting a little thin and personally I probably could have gotten another season out of them but, decided to pull the trigger. Off came the 6 ply tires and just finished getting the new 14 ply tires mounted up (y) The nice thing about the scissor jacks I installed on the trailer is I can take all 4 off at the same time. Don't get me wrong I was a little nervous, so I was in haul ass mode getting them on :LOL: Found a good deal for a set of 4 Tires Suntek HD Plus ST 225/75R15 Load G 14 Ply on Ebay for $450 shipped to my door. Ran them down to a little tire shop by my house and for $70 the guy mounted and balanced all 4 of them. Gave him a $10 tip for how fast he got it done because i was nervous to pull in my driveway and seeing my trailer flat on the ground.
