We all know there is a big difference between the equipment for backpacking and car camping. I think there may me almost as much difference between regular car camping and using a cargo trailer.
I recently got a small cargo trailer with a ramp and am just starting to consider the options that I have now that I didn't before. When I was in a big box building supply store they had a rolling tool chest on sale that I think will make a great camp kitchen. It even had a wood top that looks like butcher block. It isn't bear proof but it should be squirrel and raccoon proof.
With a larger cargo trailer, you could literally bring the kitchen sink! I won't do that but I could put a dorm room size refrigerator on a dolly so I don't have to hunt for ice. Or I could at least roll my ice chest into the trailer instead of breaking my back lifting it up to put it in the back of the Suburban in bear country. I hope the veteran cargo trailer campers will let me know what they bring to the campsite that isn't possible with just the space available in a car.
