For our old trailer, which had plenty of room in the rear
tack (also had a mid tack) we put a 55 gallon barrel in there. We used that only for the 2 horses and
this was primarily when we were doing 2 day CTRs, so
3 nights of camping. We usually ran
out of water before we finished cleaning the horses so had to haul a bit for
the last few hours of drinking.We
always carried our drinking water in a 10 gallon cooler, plus started with
about 6 filled water bottles and 8 gatorades.
Our new trailer only has a rear tack, but it has living
quarters.The LQ has a 30 gallon
tank which is more than enough for our drinking and a shower or 2, but
obviously not enough for the horses.So I’ve been looking at all these tanks that people are
finding.We’d have to build a
rack to put something on the top of the trailer – which would be nice for
hay hauling as well, plus you have gravity on your side for running the
water.
But I like the look of that tank for the truck and gooseneck
set up!
We want to do more multidays this
year, so maybe we’ll look for 2 options!
