Hi guys, new guy looking for cold weather toy hauler

I'm in the market for a toy hauler, as much as I hate the cold I would need to spend a few weeks in 0 Fahrenheit or colder night temps working out in the great white north. The diesel dodge will pull either a 5th wheel or bumper, my only requirement is to fit 2 quads in the back. I drive a lot of logging and dirt roads so a cheaper not so pretty unit would be preferable. On this road twice now I had an atv break straps, first 2 then 3 and once came off my trailer so sturdy construction or a better frame is a must. Is there anything older factory made for extreme cold temperatures?

Anybody have a fireplace in a camper?

    Perhaps the Kimberly Stove? Excellent performer and a top quality product. Expensive though. Videos of installs on boats and campers.

    Build what you want, nothing mass produced works worth dang in anything much below 25 degrees. I'd start with a HD cargo trailer or a Featherlite aluminum trailer and build from there. Then you can control how its built , for example, I'd order 9' side wall and then build a false floor inside to put my tanks and such on, much better way to control the cold, stray foam insulation, dual pane windows, your AC and a furnace. Could be built on either a bumper pull or GN hitch. I'd look at air ride with the kind of off roading you do.
