We use our trailer in the warmer, summer months. It's mostly for vacation trips in which we want to bring camping or outdoor equipment. For the first time this year, I am trying an experiment. Since my storage apples mostly need to be stored in between October and June, why not store some of the apples in the trailer? It's not being used at all during that part of the year. Squirrels/rats/mice can't get into it so far. It's also more open than my storage in the shed, so there will be less fungus/rotting of the apples. Has anyone else tried this? It seems to work quite well.

Seems reasonable as long as it doesn't get damp inside in our colder rainier time of the year.

Yeah, but how did the squirrel get in there? Was it because of the tiny ad?
