[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 1407066, member: 313"] I had a 5'x8' fully enclosed trailer built. I had the interior height held to just under 6'. This keeps the exterior height of the trailer at about the height of the roof rack on my Sequoia. I can put six 120qt coolers on the floor, six more on top of them if needed and there is room for gear on top of that. Frozen meat will stay frozen for much longer than the 3 days it typically takes to drive home. Nearly frozen meat stays perfectly cold and no ice is needed. We have never had a problem with the coolers and they are easy to load and move around. I find the coolers preferable to a chest freezer and generator. For me, the trailer was needed because we travel with 3-4 hunters. Splitting the travel cost really helps. Gas alone from NY to Northern Idaho cost over $2,000 one year. Generally, you need more coolers than you would think. A butchered moose will fill 3 big coolers and the hide will fill a 4th. We have taken 3 moose on one trip. I have 4 guys going on an elk hunt this Sept. If everyone is successful we will need all the coolers and room on top for the racks. The trailer proved to be a very good investment for me and my primary hunting buddy. It has been to Newfoundland and Northern Canada several times and out west several more. Just a few things to consider. [/QUOTE]
