RTT's and Animals

[Doug2000]

I have a home built that I am considering putting a RTT on. I built it four years ago, but am still sleeping on the ground. I keep my food in my trailer along with all my camp gear, but often found the trailer to center of attention with animals in the middle of the night. So far it's just been raccoons but am concerned of bigger animals. I keep all my cold food in the cooler, and all other dry food in zip lock bags or in some other form of air tight container.
I don't want to keep my food in the truck as the trailer usually sits in the shade on those sunny days, and I might be out running around with my truck, probably sitting in the sun somewhere.
Here's some pics, just wondering if anybody has had issues with animals and their RTT.

Looks to be a very organized setup, I need to build a canoe rack on our tent trailer like that. I have no insight on the animal issue, but one option is to keep all food items in Yeti or similar coolers that are animal resistant and set them in the shade away from your sleeping area.

Very nice trailer!
Great design and very useful.

Like to hear any stories from avid RTT users, should I go ahead and buy the tent I'm looking at, I don't want to have to put my food in the truck.

I keep my coolers under my trailer (M416 w/RTT) and the dry food/canned good inside the trailer, in plastic bins.

Never had a problem with critters.

Keeping a clean camp helps, as does seeking out spots that are off the beaten bath. Well used camp grounds tend to attract racoons, bears, etc.
