I have though about this and it Dove tails with Flint Hill Furs post about a OOS trapping trailer. Once you set it up you could have a hot shot spot it anywhere for ya1

I would get one that's fully insulated regardless of where I was going to use it. Insulated helps prevent condensation.

They definitely make good storage sheds, dad has two for lumber and construction equipment. You can pack a lot in them. He also had one outfitted with a fifth wheel hitch and axles to make a trailer out of it.

I got one last summer. It’s got an odor to it . I was told the odor is from the rodent proof floor. I won’t store trapping gear in it. I wonder if that's normal. I've been thinking of getting 1 to store some things in at my hunting property.

When insulate the floor as well. We had one for a break room in the quarry. The floor wasn't insulated but the walls and ceiling were. It was like standing on ice in the winter time.

Air flow/circulation should be #1. Musty stuff. They all have an odor from whatever theyve hauled...whether it be clinton, epstein, weinstein, soros, bezos victims or yada, yada, yada. Spray-foamed walls/ceiling, with a liberal douching or twelve of baking soda with plenty of air-flow should hamper the smell. Maybe some great-stuff through the floor will help for your feet. .

Never made a trap shed, but I've modified a few of them
There are 3 ways to insulate the floor: 1) If you have equipment, tip it over or pick it up and spray foam the existing voids in the bottom. 2) build a stick frame underneath and insulate it like a cabin. 3) Build a stick frame on top of the floor inside, insulate it and put a new floor on top. This is the easiest if ceiling height isn't an issue.
I've put studs on the walls like D.T., but instead of welding tabs on we just drilled and screwed through the walls into the studs from the outside with rubber washer screws. You can also just spray foam the metal without studs, but the studs allow you to sheet the wall afterwards and/or hang stuff on the wall.
It's worth thinking about the roof too. Around here an unprotected connex roof will rust holes in 8-10 years tops. YMMV
For doors and windows just frame the opening with light gauge (bent) C-channel, or even steel studs. Then you can nstall the doors and windows like a house.

I wouldn't think you could skin very many critters inside it. You'd be crawling around on your knees by the time you got a coyote skin half way off the carcass. You'd need a skinning area that has a 10-12 ft. ceiling so you might as well build something like a pole barn and park your container inside it perhaps.
