    I like how you put metal edging along the counter top, and the strips between the paneling. It gives it a vintage look.

    Absolutely gorgeous, I worked at a huge RV center, detailed every kind of rig out there. But my favorite regular customer, had her horse trailer decked out. Forever a great memory, joy to clean, all but the stall😆 but she was THE BEST TIPPER EVER, thanks Natalie, I miss y'all! YOUR CONVERSION IS JUST AS AMAZING!

    Beautiful. What a classy upcycle. I LOVE the counter tops. My grandparents have the original 1950's boom-a-rang pattern, in aqua/teal. Every time I see the pattern, I think of them and their kitchen.

    That is so cool. Before any of these really were popular I remember as a kid playing across the street at a friends house. Her grandparents had a horse trailer and we would set it up as a house and just spend hours on hours in it. Who would of thought we were making history in our own playtime lol.

    I saw pics of this trailer on Pinterest and I was gobsmacked. I happen have been gifted a 5x14 livestock trailer very similar to this (no escape doors). I'm pleased to have found your video. I love your kerfed ceilings but that's beyond my ability I think. I'm thinking on using a vinyl fabric that looks like tooled leather with nailhead tacks. Your trailer is my inspiration so thank you so much for sharing it.

I don't know of any good videos on it right off hand, but you could watching different cargo trailer and van build videos and find one were they show doing it. Look for videos of the nicer builds.

    The American horse trailers are lovely.
    I have an Australian two horse extended horse float with a tack box but they aren't as big as the American ones and our tack boxes are not rooms they are only come up from the floor just below the window.
    However once I no longer have horse's anymore I intend to convert the tack box into a kitchen and put a permanent bed into it, rather than a blow up mattress for overnight shows

    Awesome work. I am researching to do the same and came across yours. Inspirational for sure. I like the design you have for the rear doors with the canopy over top. Was thinking you could add in a rear deck as well to work this the doors. When the doors are closed the rear deck would folded up and locked in place. When dropped it could lock into the doors to hold up giving you a rear deck as well. Just a thought. Again love what you have done. a fan....

    I have pretty much the same exact trailer for sale, little newer, and saw this video. It's not for sale anymore. I'm going to hook it up. I figure I can squeeze the motorcycle in it and hang a hammock, shelf loft or make a bunk bed with storage. I'm happy with a dry sink, hot plate and a solar panel

  • @d.mcdave8880
    @d.mcdave8880 Před 2 lety +2

    That is a beautiful piece of work, Sir. I have had my eye on a very similar trailer for a couple decades now. I spoke to the owner many years ago and I could tell he was very proud of it, and was not ready to let go. But we are all getting older, and he may be more inclined to sell. However, I am not sure that I am in good enough shape to do a conversion, and complete it, and be able use it before my time is up. My question to you is what do you think it weighs? I don't want to buy a new F-350 to tow with, they are worth more than my house cost. Thanks for sharing your project. It is very special.
