    hunting /camping trailer wish list

    if I was going to build a hunting/camping trailer it would have several requirements
    - a linoleum floorto make sweeping out easier
    -an airtight woodstove with a drying rack close by for hanging wet clothes
    -a couple of chairs to sit around the woodstove and read at night
    -a shower
    - 2 bunks convertable to a table and bench
    -cupboards ,shelf space, and lots of clothing hangers
    - a sink/stove/counter for cooking
    - an RV fridge and freezer
    - a hinged roof panel the length of the trailer that could be raised for shelter

    any other wish list ideas?

    Hey
    I will add a water tank, 40 gallons? You could have a splitter in it so you run it to your sink and have a external tap for a quick shower wash up. The lines would have to be insulated of course.

    You guys should contact WJ trailer sales in Prince George as he is building atv/sled trailers into exactly what we want as outdoors men he will even customize one to your needs if you can think of something that he hasn't yet. His # is 612-0034.
    It is easier to get forgivness than it is permission.


    It has been pointed out to us that the proper number to consider in the event of violent aggression is "911"- if you are of the rabbit people. Others will do better to place their faith in the number "1911".

    The only thing that I can think off that your trailer could use would be me!

    What about some awnings on both sides and substantial ground clearance. My buddy got an old fixer upper trailer where we moved the axle below the leaf springs. You could park that thing just about anywhere in the bush.

    yes,that ground clearance issue is important,and if it can be accomplished by repositioning the axle below the spring that would be a simple solution

    An insulated floor is a nice option for those cold mornings. And if you can draw fresh air from outside for the wood stove. BCKID
