Something that we did in our shack instead of wood heat we used a propane furnace, set it and forget it. Our unit has a decent recovery time and after 7 straight days going only used about 40lbs of propane. We also added a full kitchen in ours. Sink, stove and oven (which we used several times in that same propane usage). Add to that a way to create yourself a portable outdoor waste closet. We made ours so that it is collapsible and just hangs off the wall outside. Saves driving into town to find a bathroom.

I have looked into transport regulations and anything over 8'7" flags by day and warning lights at night, over 10' same as above with 2 dimensional signage, as far as a bathroom I have not quite decided what the best portable option is, I kind of like your idea of it folding up to the wall of the shack, something that is simple and functionable I think but haven't really thought to hard on it yet.
