Re: [RC] water tanks in dressing room of slant load trailer - Ben TurnerOn Fri, 25 Jun 2004 21:13:28 GMT, Ridecamp Guest <guest-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Please Reply to: marie feuer profmf@xxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== any body have a good suggestion on a water tank? how do you get in there and clean them? i heard there are ones that collapse as they empty then you can take them out and clean them. any vendor info would really help too. thanks! We use a 25 gallon triangular tank strapped into the corner of the dressing room. It's installed with straps so the whole tank can be removed for cleaning, winter storage, etc. Routine use involves a hose and valve near the base with filling through a larger opening at the top (covered with a screw cap when not filling). IIRC, the tank is high density polyethylene. We also got a small triangular base to elevate the tank a little which can serve as the home for a small hose. On line vendors that seem to have the same tank include: Long Riders <http://www.longridersgear.com/feeders.htm> Running Bear <http://runningbear.com/catalog/display.php?cartid=40dc97e62561e&zid=1&lid=1&cat=28&scat=199> Sportack <http://www.sportack.com/products/product_trailer.aspx> then select "Water Storage" Even with this tank and another 20 gal. tank on the trailer, we occasionally long for greater capacity. Many people opt for additional containers in the pickup bed. Good ad hoc containers can be made from plastic, food-grade 55 gal. drums, some plumbing hardware, and some arrangement with straps and possibly wooden frames for stability in the pickup. Commercial containers in the range of 20, 35, or 60 gallons intended for other applications can occasionally be found at farm service or tractor supply outlets.

Training/conditioning is one of the best tools available. It makes us better horseman and women, it benefits our horses and could quite possibly be the key to preventing most crashes. ~ Lisa Salas - The Odd Farm ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ============================================================
