What are you using to cover up the rear opening when the ramp is down? I was thinking about ordering those plastic strips that you see in warehouses, but I'm thinking there are some better options out there.
For those of you with enclosed trailers

I just use a tarp held up by some chip clips.

We use a shower rod and then found a curtain that is long enough.

This is what we used: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Carefree-of...Parts_Accessories&hash=item1e99aa11b2&vxp=mtr
Double check with the seller that it's the right size, we had to add some spacers on the sides to make it work, but it works really well.

I got a set of clear swinging doors at an auction, but I haven't put them in yet. I need to build a partial wall and figure out a way to mount them. These are the walk through doors that a grocery meat dept. would have on the cooler. Should be easier to walk through with a pan than the strips or a conventional door.
I have also seen teams using the plastic strip doors like you see on a shipping dock.

Yep, we are still using it. I have been thinking about replacing it with an insulated concrete curing blanket/tarp. They will come in different R-values and even get them with your logo printed on it.

We use the plastic strip door on our side door, not the rear. I like it a lot.

What do you consider extreme cold or heat?

In our case, we cooked in 35ish degree weather this weekend with a tiny little $18 ceramic heater, and it was nice and toasty in the trailer. We generally cook in 80-90 degree weather with no major problems. One contest this year we cooked it was 106 outside so we kept the ramp up. It was still 90 degrees inside the trailer.

How does that work when it gets windy?

I used four 24" sliding closet doors on a track. Had to cut them down to the proper height. Works great!

The strip doors come in different weights. They suggest using heavier strips for outdoor applications. I have them and they work great. Just a pain to store when not in use.

It works well. We try to set up to block the wind with the trailer, if possible. We can keep the door open in heat or cold and not lose the ac or heat inside the trailer. The biggest hassle is carrying a load of hot meat on hot grate to the inside. Takes a little getting used to but I wouldn't be without the strip door and it is still easier than trying to open the door with a load of bbq.
