MY IDEAL TRAILER

1. WIDE BODY. Reasons for this: horse comfort, road stability.

2. Ventilation. Obvious reasons.

3. Solid EASY to use Hitch. Seems the newer trailers have 2 5/16" ball.
The old ones have 2". I do like the "clam shell type of hitch for bumper
pull. So far very reliable.

4. Nationwide uniform wiring code. Heavy duty wire, heavy duty plugs,
consistent wiring, so if I want to buy an out of area trailer, I don't have
to worry about my brakes fireing when I turn on the running lights, etc, etc.

5. Fiberglass roofing seems to be working well here in the west. Cool (
much more of a problem than staying warm. ) Also doesn't rust.

6. Lets get some research going on the best rust protection! Seems to be
the single biggest problem for all.

7. I like the swing out saddle rack in a front tack area. I don't have to
crawl in with a heavy saddle after a long ride!

8. Built in bucket holders and outside hay racks! So what horse doesn't
need this even at a day show!

9. Built in water tank ( even 25-30 gal would be greatly appreciated!)

10. Rack on top for bales or etc.

11. Light weight!

Well, this is all I have on my list just now, this would be for my "basic"
model. Maybe I should get into this full time, I know what I like, and what
would sell!!!

Anyone want to place an order <vbg>
