If you are going to have it made to use on the trailer. Then might as well allow for double duty with the ability to set up off the trailer also. Might find you'll want use it that way too.

I use a hot tent. I like it cause you can set it up most anywhere. Got one of those trailers made from the bed and frame of a half ton pick up. Put a camper shell on it. Can haul a lot of stuff between the trailer and pickup I pull it with. Can pull it over two tracks no problem. A lot of trailers wont take rough back roads. The clearance and suspension never designed to be off the pavement. I put a padlock on the camper shell door and in the hitch. Could be broken into if somebody really wants to, or lock cut and the trailer and all hauled off, but so far not been a problem. I generally park on private property. That helps avoid theft more than the locks IMO. No way to stop someone from stealing your tent stove and camping gear if they want it. With a big trailer you could lock up everything every day. Build one with some ground clearance and heavy duty axles and suspension if you go that way. Being able to get back in a ways so few people even know your there is a good thing.

Campers dont tke rough roads to good
I have stayed in cheap motels also. Cheap is getting hard to find. A lot of them dont like you bringing in and cooking on a coleman stove either. The electricity is nice.so is the shower. I rented a chest freezer once from a rent to own place. had it delivered to the motel. they also picked it up when I was done. ( i cleaned it good before they picked it back up) get in a cold enough spot a storage locker works for fur. even if it gets above freezing a couple hours a day some days they will keep good if you lay them on the concrete floor of an evening so they freeze during the night. you can pile them up leaving a spot on the concrete for more once they freeze.
most truck stops will sell you a private shower when you get tired of just washing in a basin of warm water at a dry camp.

That trailer sits to low to the ground for places I go.

Thats a cool lift idea. It should travel like a regular utility trailer.
Cutting the holes would be better done prior to dropping down. Go inside, pull the covers.
Open up the ice where you want. Move the unit. Clean off the snow and ice. Move back over the holes. Lower and fish.
