Hi,

I was wondering what you guys think is the most useful tool to add to a horse trailer. I'm looking to get my other half a present and I think that a reversing camera might be the thing - I'm not saying that they have a problem reversing usually, but with so many kids around, it's probably better to be safe rather than sorry.

I was thinking of this Reversing Horse Trailer Camera at http://www.reversingtrailercamera.com/

Let me know what you think or if you have any other good ideas.

Thanks

Guess you were a victim of too much fun from your last posting. Personally, I'd like to open the LQ door and find members of the Dallas Cowboy's cheer leading squad, covering every available space....

Since that's not realistic, an electric or hydraulic jack to replace the wind up type would be a greatly appreciated. I would have little use for a back up camera, a mobile spotter is much more valuable. If I were hauling as a business, an in stall camera might be valuable. We don't have a built in DVD player, and find a portable unit enjoyable and easy to store.

If you are going to have the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, you have to have a hot tub! Then you need a 52" TV on the outside to watch the games with...pull out grill for the games....kegerator with an outside and inside tap...

In all seriousness... hydraulic jack. Absolute best money spent. Your camera, might be alright, but I haul with several different vehicles...I would need the 7" color LCD screen for each vehicle... hydraulic jack works with all of them.

You can never carry too much water! Extra water tank is the way too go.

Yep. The triangle corner tanks are my pick. They don't really take up any room that is useable for much else.

Extra water is always great - definitely.

After reading the other thread, I'm leaning more towards the 20-something hunky male bartender/massage therapist though.

 

Definitely don't need a freakin' reverse camera. LOL!

One thing I've added to my trailer are the flat back bucket holders inside the horse area and under the outside tie rings.  Makes it easy to hang buckets for water where they won't be as easy to spill and you won't drive off and leave them because they were knocked under the trailer and forgotten.
