      I was at a barrel race & a generator in the back of the trailer...killed a mother & her daughter from fumes. Be so careful!! Generators have to be on top of the horse trailer to be truly preyty safeI was taught. I could be wrong but please check! After see'n that this worried me...I'm sure he knows what he's doing but up top is better! 🙏🤠🇺🇸🇨🇱

    Brilliant! A horse trailer is so much sturdier than a typical flimsy stick & staples trailer. This will last a lifetime.

    Finally a tiny home with a true garage. So many other people calling their cargo area, that's the size of a closet or box, a "garage".

      Helm 361 - definitely! Most RVs, especially newer ones, are made so cheaply with sub standard materials. I belong to several RV facebook groups and I'm amazed at the trouble people have with new RVs

    • @djgamer2012
      @djgamer2012 6 лет назад +2

      yeah im kinda worried because of that since I want to do this, I don't know how to build stuff so i kinda stuck with a class C or B RV. I would go with this if I knew how to build stuff.

      Kathy McG from what you've seen, what are the best yet affordable travel trailers and RVs?

    • @kathymack3791
      @kathymack3791 6 лет назад +2

      Helm 361 - I'm in no way an expert but from what I have seen, the materials in newer ones is cheap and thecworkmanship can be less than desirable. Personally, I ended up buying a 2002 model A-frame trailer that I'm in the process of fixing up.

    I have an 1998 Exiss horse trailer with a fifth wheel hook up. Dry weight 7,000 wet 14,000. It was special ordered from the factory with a ramp instead of doors in the back. Tie downs for toys. Living quarters in front. I’ve got rid of microwave, couch, and furnace. I put in a blue flame heater. I replaced my propane refrigerator for a 12 volt one. I special ordered a 2000 Ford power stroke. I now have 451,000 miles on it. My trailer I bought in 2002. My pickup and my trailer has the same size tires 16 inch wheels. I can boondock for six weeks without dumping my tanks.
    I love my set up.

    I've never seen a horse trailer (what in the UK we call a "horse box") converted for human living. It seems like a great idea.

    • @harrymills2770
      @harrymills2770 Год назад

      Better frame. Better axles. Sturdier body. Built to last.
      I've seen quite a few horse trailers in the USA with a human living space in the front half. It's not that uncommon. It might be common in the UK amongst the livestock community for all I and possibly you know.

    @lloydbrewer4229 4 года назад

    Awesome !!! Just today my buddy suggested I look at converting a gooseneck horse trailer for my tiny/mobile home. I'd never thought of that option before .... This video really opened my eyes, all aluminum tough/rust free .... 24 ft + 8 ft over truck - flip the axles/springs AND 7 ft high ceilings!!!! (I'm 6'6" and my pet peave is not being able to stand straight in a camper/trailer). Perfect solution. Love Gary's basic layout too. Living and a huge garage area with a dedicated bed space too. Love it ! Thank you for putting this 2 part video together. Cheers

  • @chewar7537
    @chewar7537 3 года назад +2

    Great idea! I have had a 3 horse gooseneck in the past for my horses. The sleeping area is always where the bed is, and the living quarters is always set up to live in. Like how he did his. The horse area is cool how he converted it. Those aren't escape hatches, they are for ventilation, and a/c units lol.

But watching these videos encourages me, so I will get there.

    I'm wanting to find a old horse trailer to do this. When I was little I camped at horse show where it was to far away to go home for the night. It's a miracle I'm still alive because I rode in the trunk bed going to the shows and would have to duck so the trailer wouldn't hit me in the head. Where he slept we put hay and our sadles and things we needed. If it was storming or to cool to ride in the bed I rode in there. If anyone would do stuff with kids like was done when I grew up they wouldn't know what to do about it. God I miss those days!!!

  • @ravensreflections1660
    @ravensreflections1660 6 лет назад

    Wow. This is cool. I love the garage area section. The actually manufactor gooseneck horse trailers with living quarters. They are marketing to people who travel for competitions but there are people who go camping with their horses and trail ride instead of hiking on foot. Horse trailers with living quarters are good for traveling with any kind of livestock. There was a video about a famy.that had their farm animals (goat and chickens for milk and eggs) in a schoolie outfitted as a tiny house. So there are ways to travel with animals. But the garage idea. I love it. You could do something like a greenhouse garden sunroom area in a gooseneck stock trailer with a tack room. A lot of them have a "tackroom" which is basically behind the gooseneck, which could be outfitted to live in. And there are probably tons of heavy duty metal horse trailers sitting around not being used anymore that could be acquired cheaply and repurposed.
