On my list is a support trailer as well. I plan to have it have the usual rear ramp door, but have a door on the curbside with a Fastec RV-style locking handle to open (so it can always be opened from inside.) This, coupled with heavy barrel bolts on the inside of the curbside door will ensure anyone inside can get out no matter what, but someone wanting in has to open the rear door once the rig is all buttoned up for the road.
This will give additional usable sleeping space. This also might be an idea for the OP, so the truck camper isn't as crowded, especially if a Porta-Potti is in the supply trailer. A vent (or vent set) and possibly a vent fan can't hurt either.
Eventually, I want to add solar panels, both on the top as well as on the sides, ones that can flip up. That with the usual battery/charger/inverter will allow me to have enough power for everything but the microwave and A/C when dry camping.
I couldn’t agree more, and did it myself! (see below)
I would also add, you can then park the trailer, with solar panels, in the sun and then relocate your Truck Camper in the shade. Running your shore power cable to the trailer/solar works great!
