This last week in South Dakota, we camped across the road from a family that had an "Ice House" travel trailer. The unit was mysteriously awesome! I'd never seen anything like it before.
Evidently, they are quite common in the Northern States, specifically Minnesota, North Dakota.
I think a camper like this would take care of one issues we, with traditional trailers, face all the time ... trailer shake.
Ice House trailers lower directly to the ground. No jacks, no nothing, just lower, made to sit on the ice. Then the trap doors in the floor allow for fishing through the ice.
What a novel idea! No steps and no stabilizer jacks.
I had to look this up on the internet and here's their web site:

Here's a link to some internet photos (Google type search):

And... the guy I talked to across the road from us said, you can camp in them in the upright position too. Just imagine the fun the grand kids could have crawling in and out of all those trap doors in the floor!
