Are you going to have a 50A pedestal to plug into ?
My bet is I could reasonably modify my 19' trailer to be used in extreme conditions. Among the mods I would consider if I knew I would have a 50A connection would be to install a high capacity industrial wall heater. A 240V heater can be had that is 4000W. I would hard wire that into the appropriate wiring solution to safely pull from the 50A outlet. Plugged in to a 50A supply, with proper insulation I "think" I could make this trailer livable. This is all just thinking out loud though. I'd want to run it by an EE before doing this.
Me personally, I don't need more than a 20' trailer for solo use.
