bicycle camping trailer

I went bicycle camping this year for the first time,i bought a trailer put all my stuff and spent a week at a campsite and since then i cant stop thinking about it.I learned my lesson off being out of shape and not training for it but i want to do it again next year,so i have been looking for ideas maybe an electric motor for the trailer to assist or a bicycle camper.
I read about the the kamp rite midget but don't like the 4 wheels and not to much storage space and the $800+ price tag(not that many good reviews either) and i have found a lot of interesting designs on the internet of DIY type.So i came across a design for a homeless mobile shelter and thought if i can put wheels on that that could be great.I really don't know because it took a lot of me with a 35 pound trailer and +80 of gear,i have this idea in my head and i just cant shake it out so just give your 2 cents worth of common sense and tell me i am not crazy for considering this.

Pros: It would look cool.
Cons:Heavy,wide,i dont know if it would pass the GW bridge and bicycle trails entrance have pylons to stop cars,did i say heavy.
Here is the web site with the rest of the pictures
