Expand on your cargo trailer idea Id like to hear what you are thinking
I have looked at some 5'8 cargo trailers and they are perfect. The one I looked at had a door and a rear hatch. It also came with a ceiling fan/vent. I have been unable to get up there to get a price but i suispect it'll be under 3gs

I thought that it might be easier to retrofit a cargo trailer. Home Depot has them 5'x8' and 6'x 10'. I think they go for around $1900 and $2350 respectivly. I was looking at one for my parents to make a camper for them. Being older they feel more comfortable with more headroom than a teardrop can provide. The 6'x10' has double doors in the rear and a side door on the passenger side. The 5'x8' only has the rear doors. I think it could be adapted for your purposes as well. By walling off the rear doors and mounting base cabinets with upper cabinets and countertop within let's say a 2 1/2 foot space. You could store a small refrigerator/keg with tap. On the door mount folding shelves that could hold a small grill and mount a condiment rack above if needed. The counter top contains a small sink and serving area. The upper cabinet have rotating table on it for a TV that could be seen inside or outside. The other door you could build another set of folding shelves for food chip or what have to snack on. The inside raised sleeping area to allow for more storage for folding chairs and tables and sun shelter canopy. Just a thought
