Thank you all so much for the replies and great information. That is exactly the type of information that I was hoping for. I will be checking into all of the suggestions, they are greatly appreciated!
A few things I didn't mention. I carry a pistol with light attached in the trailer. I also have an extra box of ammo for it. I am well trained and in law enforcement. I will keep it out of reach of my boy.
Speaking of that, someone pointed out that I didn't mention who all would be using it. It will be myself, 2 boys (a 3 year old and another to be born next month), my wife and our dog.
The bear spray exploding sounds like a nightmare, I will definitely explore some options to safely transport it.
If anyone is around the Marion IL area and would like to get together to break bread and talk camping let me know, you are welcome to stop by if I have time off work and we can arrange it ahead of time.
Here's a couple minor, miscellaneous things I've done lately or am planning on doing. I put our Keurig coffee maker in it and stocked up extra coffee packs, creamer and sugar. I am searching for the right queen sized bed for it to replace the full size that is currently in it. Thanks for the size tip, I'll measure and make sure I get the right sized one before I buy. I'll also be adding a cheap pair of walkie talkies for use when backing up/ parking and general emergency preparedness when out camping.
Ohh, also, I never did mention that my tow vehicle situation is sort of up in the air right now. We have a nice Lexus v8 SUV that can easily tow it, but we are probably going to sell it soon. I'll be in the market for a used 4 door v8 4x4 pickup truck for under $15K soon after that.
OK, that's it for now; thanks again!
