Our camp all chipped in bought a 5x8 cargo trailer. Insulated it completely with 2" panel insulation. Cut a hole for a 5000 watt air conditioner, and installed a CoolBot. It gets our trailer to 34 degrees in 20 minutes with a generator during early archery season. Let me know if it sounds like something you are interested in and I'll send pics to show you what all we did. Check them out at.... https://www.storeitcold.com/  ....last year we even did some mods and added a couple taps on the outside. We have a couple home brew kegs for sitting in camp....LTD, Living' the dream!.

Mine is still running strong.  Hung a couple bears in it this year.  Now I need to build another on the property.  Thought about building a mobile one this go round.

I built one a few years ago.  I used a cooler box from a subway, with a window ac unit and cool bot.  Bent up some stainless hooks and it’s good to go.  The enclosed trailer is a great idea, I’d do this next time so we could take it out of state.  Right now the cooler would look strange sitting on the car trailer.
