Location: new jersey | Hi Everyone... after much lurking here, and looking, and discussions....we've decided we really don't need to move up to a lq situation....the times we'd use it in a year are few, and can't justify the cost, etc.... what i'd like to do though, is make the existing trailer (a two hrose with dr bumper pull) more "friendly" to the hubby....ie, adding an awning, etc....so when at a horse show, he and the youngest have a place to hang got any suggestions? i've thought of the awning, have also thought of a small propane grill and either a 12v refrigerator or an lp refrigerator....thoughts??? | |

Location: Hutto, TX | Depends on how big the dressing room is mostly. I had a fabulous used BP trailer that I stumbled across when I went to pick up my ordered trailer years ago and the dealer let me switch! We evented at the time and the spouses hung out at the trailers/stalls a lot. This trailer had room for my daughter's playpen in the door with lots of room for my stuff. You need to keep your stuff contained and add things like seating, window? Lighting if you think he will stay inside, electricity and whatever you need for good reception for a portable TV, radio, DVD player,etc. A fancy ice chest might be as good as a fridge and we have a George Foreman grill in the LQ trailer (I took out the stovetop!). Portable vacume cleaner, mats, rugs, etc. Good luck and have fun! | |

Location: Farmville, VA | I really struggled with the idea of an awning. That a lot of money for 7 shows a year and for the same money, I decided to by a very small super quiet honda generator ($600) and a 10 x 10 free standing shade tent from wal-mart ($82). This allows greater freedom from the sun and keeps everyone from sitting infront of my dressing room door. It also allows us to use it at the beach, etc. Dollar for dollar, the generator was the best option for use, now we can use the tv/cd comb, coffee pot, fans, etc... and still enjoy more sq.footage of shade. | |
