Concept Study: Hunting Camp Trailer
Option possibility might include a plug for standard RV 30 amp, and a special plug for connecting to a portable generator.
Wood heating.
CAMO scheme exterior.
Gun Rack in the cabinet scheme.
Space provided for a gun safe.
Bumper mounted horizontal freezer.
Your ideas? Don't hold back - GO FOR IT HERE!!!
What about an external ammo locker at the back of it?
Let's kick some ideas around....
I can picture a square bar hoist point that comes off the center of the roof in the back to lift deer up to bleed them out. The bar slides back and provides a lift point for a rope and tackle...
(good place for the external shower)

We've made the following mods:
Coleman lantern heating or the propane stove.( We use the stock pop-up lights now)
After a few years the exterior is a 'natural camo' finish, it blends right in naturally.
No gun rack or safe is needed, the weapons are kept handy...
No refrigerator just a regular ice chect type cooler with lots of ice and brew.
A large pine tree serves as a 'meat pole' for deer.
If you field dress your deer quickly after it's shot there will be VERY little blood by the time you get the deer back to camp and on the 'meat pole'.
We do have a big charcoal grill for grilling as well as a fire pit for social time.
Our camp is nice and simple but we kill lots of deer. We took 11 deer last season, 5 bucks(3-8 points, 1-6 point, 1-11point) and 6 unantlered deer.
13-6 was what I was thinking, WOOD STOVE, if it's hunting season the beer can be outside in the cold out there... make maybe a mailbox slot in a wall, with a can-rack outside the wall in some kind of "ANTI NEIGHBOR and GOODBUDDY" enclosure.
What about communications? Some kind of radio for the occasional "Hey man - I need help dragging this one back" message.
Tool box? Fuel storage? Hmm....

Man those were the days!
flipped axles for ground clearance
off road type tires and nice aluminum wheels just because it looks cool with 2 spare tires.
mounts in the interior for a shovel and ax
wildlife graphics, like a mule deer/whiteail buck or bull elk.
a nice gun cabinet would be nice with a drawer or some other type of storage for gun oils, ramrods etc.. so you can oil your gun down in case of rain or snow.
exterior areas on the trailer to either mount or lean guns or bows
maybe some type of foldable "drop down" type of table on the exterior so you have a place to keep backpacks, fanny packs, binoculars and other stuff that always ends up just laying around.
storage for a full size charcoal bbq like a weber.
i would like the floor to be a tough, durable bed liner like floor, no carpet or vinyl.
Camo interior
a built in illuminated weather station, that tells the time, temperature and weather forecast with an alarm clock. One that is always illuminated and easy to see from anywhere in the trailer.
lighted entry steps
exterior flood lights
like greywolf suggested, some type of communication center. Maybe something that holds/charges 4 2-way radios.
a couple of wall mounted, re-chargeable flashlights or lanterns.
nice stereo/cd player with quality speakers inside and out.
propane boot/clothing dryer
exterior shower/faucet
8'6" is the more normal standard width. You can't have a trailer wider than that on most roads, even if interstates have looser limits (13'6") 102" is a much tighter and more applicable standard.
Would something like a "MINITURE TOY HAULER" that could just hold a fourwheeler or two and give a place to live be on target here?
Low roof - and places for guns and ammo
My BOSS hunts his backside off - and I watched him wash his fourwheeler tonight. It had mud in places that made my crotch itch, and my mechanic's mind wonder. But it had a rifle case on the right, and a dog kennel mounted on the back!
(I'm not kidding - he has something like twelve tri-color hounds)

full length awning
plenty of water and propane

Make it so the awning is basically an additional room, maybe a wood stove like a wall tent.
