She uses a solar generator and two 100-watt solar panels for power. She also added a vent and, with the help of her son, a window for cross-ventilation. “I added a small cabinet to house the lights and USB fans.” “I then added shelves to store the three-in-one breakfast center, microwave and utensils,” she continues. Now I can fully stretch out by sticking my feet under the manger. I finally realized that I could remove the saddle rack under the manger and place my bed along the side. That was too hard and not long enough to stretch out. I used a coffee table to elevate the bed. “I started with a fold-out foam sofa as my bed on the floor. “There have been some ups and some downs,” she says. Joanie Carter added a small cabinet, USB lights and fan, as well as a breakfast center. But just putting a bed in proved to be more work than she thought. Joanie Carter purchased a 1997 Midsouth two-horse trailer with enough room for a bed in the dressing room, knowing she would convert to add some living quarters. “This has allowed me to use a microwave, coffee pot, and 12-volt cooler, and really covers all of my power needs except for electric heat and air conditioning.” Creative Sleep Space in Horse Trailer Living Quarters
“New in the past year was adding a 100-watt solar panel and solar generator,” she adds. On the rest, I used a peel-and-stick wallpaper, and either covered the wall directly or covered foam craft boards cut to fit. “I knew I would be bumping into it as I slept, and it really does cut down on noise from other campers. “I covered the part around the bed with soundproofing foam and fabric,” she says.

Parkhurst used foam puzzle mats for her flooring, because they were easy to install herself. Under the bed, she ran a heavy-duty extension cord through the floor, so she can plug in if hook-ups are available.

“I took full advantage of that and put in magnetic baskets on the wall for storage. I glued a shoe holder to the pass-through door, and then under the bed, I have two aluminum wire shelves.” “My trailer is made from Z composite, which means it’s not as heavy as a steel trailer, but it is magnetic,” Parkhurst says.

“Eventually, I put a bed in the front part of the dressing room over the spare tire and battery, high enough that I could take advantage of the windows in the nose of my trailer.”ĭue to weight, she couldn’t add cabinets, but found another way to have storage. Even then, she ended up making some changes. She also had them add a walk-through door to connect the stalls to the sleeping area, a vent with a 12-volt fan, and a 12-volt battery wired to trickle charge from her truck when towing.įinally, she had a 25-gallon water tank and an awning installed in her DIY horse trailer living quarters. Lisa Parkhurst had her trailer built with a door between the horse stalls and sleeping area. “I knew I was going to camp in the trailer, so I wanted the dressing room big enough for a cot,” she says. Lisa Parkhurst had 2 feet of extra length added to the dressing room of her 2011 Double D Safetack bumper pull when she had it built because she knew she wanted to fit a bed in it. “I had to pre-drill all the holes.” Super Storage in DIY Living Quarters “The hardest part was drilling the furring strips to the aluminum ribs,” she says. For lighting, she uses a battery-charged lamp. Her bed is made of two-by-fours with foam cushioning.
She made a cabinet to fit the front of the trailer and installed a USB-charged faucet with a 5-gallon water container and a sink that drains into a bucket. Vonda Davison added a sink with 5 gallons of water that drains into a bucket. Since most trailers have framing on the inside so you don’t have a smooth wall, the “furring” would make the wall flush with the framing so it’s smooth, like the wall of a house. “Furring out” refers to expanding a wall’s construction, either by depth or width, usually by using metal or wood to make a level surface. She added insulation, furred it out, and finished with paneling and trim. Since her horse trailer had saddle racks under the feeding areas, she moved one to the other side to make room for a bed in her living quarters. “For instance, you do not use steel screws when screwing into aluminum.” “It’s important to know the best insulation to use and also what type of screws you’ll need when drilling into aluminum or steel,” she says. Vonda Davison moved one of the under-manger saddle racks to make room for a bed.
