Location: Ft. Pierce, FL | I will be getting a living quarters trailer this fall. I would like to know what is your favorite or must have trailer/camping accessory. One of the things I know I would like is a HiTie system, another is a one touch can opener. So help me out what else is a must have for camping with my hubby and horse?Thanks for your help! |

Location: mancelona michigan | A gas grille/dutch oven that mounts on a bracket attached to the side of the trailer.It uses the on board gas supply,and stores in a carry bag when not in use. No,I dont sell them,but we have one! |

Location: Hoosierville | I agree with trbomax; a gas grill is great to have when you don't want to cook over a fire or inside the trailer! Another feature I had on a trailer I no longer own was a table that attached to the side of the trailer and then is removed and stowed away while traveling. So in lieu of that, i bring along one of those folding plastic tables. The size is approximately 2.5 by 5 or 6'.
Have fun with your new rig! |

| Solar charger, I get along fine with a small one, run my furnace,lights,music..CO2/propane detectors.. have been out for two weeks without having to put gas in or listen to a generator. I didn't like the tie system felt every move the horse made all night long. Takes 5 minutes to set up, a one strand electric fence works for me. (I have a solar charger for that also) |

Location: Northern Utah | I live in the west and frequently ride the high desert areas. I don't always have trees to high line the horses between. I really like the HiTies that let me tie the horses to trailer. They soften or dampen the movements of the horses and thats a BIG deal when I'm trying to sleep at night. |

Location: missouri | Using LED lights in/out on trailer conserves battery when going primitive. Other: fire rings with racks for grill and hooks for pots... |

| Hyrdaulic hitch on the GN - saves lots of cranking, swearing, and sweating.... I have the Tie-Rite system on my trailer and love it. I am in the process of buying a new trailer (selling my '03) and will need to get one for the new trailer. I also love my bucket hangers - can get at Jeffers. They hold a water bucket when the horse is tied to the trailer or on the Tie-Rite. Fans in the horse area are a must down here in South Fla as well. Hand vacs are great for quick cleaning - charge up at home before the trip. Instead of having to brew a whole pot of coffee, I buy the Folgers coffee packs. They are like tea bags with coffee. I heat water in the kettle on the cooktop, then pour into a metal mug (coffee stays hot longer) and let it brew for a couple minutes. Carabiners are great for hanging hay bags/nets, trash bags, etc and of course, always need plenty of bailing twine |
