Default cargo trailer accomodations?

I am considering using a cargo trailer as a hunting sleeper. I can haul my quad, all my gear and sleep off the ground.

I would like to hear your feedback of your experiences with this. Is it pleasant, warm, comfort, convenient and warm. What do you use for heat and is humidity a concern?

Thanks

I've rigged mine up that way with bunks and a wood stove.
Can sleep 4 comfortably in an 18x8 ft.
I like wood over diesel or propane.
Nice dry heat for wet clothing and you can't run out if wood.
A noninsulated trailer is just as warm as a wall tent.

We have been using our enclosed trailers to haul our camp and then sleep in them for 15 years or more, BIL has a 26' with a forced air furnace from an RV in his, easily sleeps 4, very comfortable and constant temp as the furnace has a thermostat.

Mine is a 22' which can also sleep 4 quit easily, I use a little buddy heater in mine, I had the ceiling sprayed with Styrofoam insulation which helps hold the heat in.

Propane of course is a damp heat but given that we run a generator all night as we also pack deep freezers we both simply have a small turbo fan that we plug in to keep the air circulating, crack the roof vents and it's very comfortable.

Now I have never hunted with mine in late season, we hunt late Sept / early October so it's not really cold at night -5 or so don't know how they would be when it's -25 or more
