What's the benefit of an enclosed trailer conversion over a simple travel trailer?  Seems a lot easier to just buy a travel trailer.
in my opinion the cargo trailer is simply built stronger.You gotta put serious coin down to buy the camp trailer that is built for some of the roads i pull the cargo trailer up.The standard camp trailer frames flex all over the place allowing to much movement with the cabin itself.  :twocents: Now i will say that the cargo trailer is a much heavier pull.

how is the vents setup in a cargo trailer, do you cut in a stove jack for a small wood stove, or what CO poisonings concerns do you have/avoid,  do you cook in yours or is it just a bed and small table and dry place to escape?

i open door to allow free flow while cooking on the lp stove.my rv heater is completely sealed so no co comes inside from the heater.Using a wood stove inside a cargo trailer would require a lot of venting because the stove will burn off all the oxygen inside to burn.cargo trailers have a vent in the front and a vent in the rear its only about a 3 inch hole on each end.

Kodiak tent
Buddy heater
Cots
ATV wagon
ATV

Rest of camping/hunting stuff

With an atv wagon you can get way back, I don't find much need for a spike camp when you can get so close with atv unless you're doing wilderness of course

I have two different setup depending on the distance I'm traveling and the expected road conditions. First is my chevy pickup with a 6-1/2' bed and a canopy. I bought the canopy years ago for $500. I put the bike hitch on the receiver for my mountain bike and coolers/totes in the bed. I have a folding pad that's 3" thick for sleeping and small propane heater for cold nights. If I'm driving a long distance and the roads aren't a concern I steal the wife's Subaru outback and put a thule on the roof rack, it has a 2" receiver for my bike rack as well. I can sleep in the vehicle/bed and be more mobile for hunting. In the winter I will pack a 10x10' pop up canopy for getting out of the weather. Breaking camp takes minutes and I usually spend one night in the woods and one at the vehicle as I'm moving around. I like the idea of a big camp, but being mobile and able to relocate has been very pivotal in my elk hunting success.

Once I'm away from my rig I use a hybrid system depending on the weather conditions. I have a Borah Bivy, 5x9' flat tarp, a SO Silex, 12" LO cylinder stove, 30 degree quilt, synthetic puffy pants and hoody, insulated Nemo pad. I can run down to 20 degrees comfortably and the backpack camp runs anywhere from 3.5 pounds to 8.75 pounds depending on the weather/season.

That's a good setup. Two of the guys in my group have that, one is Dyneema the other sil-nylon. Great for a two person hot tent and splitting the weight.
