this reminded me of something i have been interested in asking for a
while, before i make the BIG MOVE and get a trailer of my own.
what sort of modifications, specifications, nifty ideas do you all have
to make your trailers/trucks/whatever more habitable? what are the
features you all consider necessary? what are the luxury features? what
is the best set-up you've seen?
the niftiest idea i've seen for a plain ole horse float (trailer to you
guys) is fold down beds. the padding on the side walls for the horses
folds down and bolts to the centre divider to make two beds in the float.
i like a soild to-the-floor centre divider so if you've only got one
horse in you can put gear in the other side safely. i want all internal
parts to be easily removable in case of an emergency. my float will be
fully-enclosed, with sliding windows for air. i want a door on BOTH
sides. a built-in tackbox in the front (of an extended-front float) is a
good idea, but i have yet to see a design for one i really like. a small
cupboard/box over the mudguards on the outside is a handy extra. an annex
is a great idea.
but i'm sure some of you guys have better ideas than me! how do you all
"live" at endurance rides?
