I see some advertised as a LQ that I don't think should be (like they don't even have a shower) and I see some that I think "could" be considered LQ that are advertised as a weekend package.

What is the difference, in your opinion?

Size. Weekender should have a cowboy shower.

A weekender is a simple or basic LQ.  It is not full featured.

It will have a bed.

It may or may not have cooking equipment and fridge.

It may or may not have a bathroom.

cowboy shower = shower in "horse area"

I have to agree, been doing alot of trailer shopping lately and have seen some with LQ and not even a toilet or cowboy shower.

I consider a LQ trailer, whether it is a fully equipped long wall luxury palace or a 4' short walled weekender, to have a galley with pressurized water system, a refigerator, bed and a functioning bathroom, storage cabinets, a fully functional  electrical system and of course an a/c. The shower can be in the bathroom or a cowboy type.

I too, have looked at many trailers advertised as having LQs, and found many that had little more than a mattress and a few Lowe's cabinets. I guess many people consider it a weekender if it can be slept in. 

A "living quarters" means to me, the additional self contained ammenities that allow you to cook, groom and sleep in comfort, while you are living within that space.

I've been considering mine a weekend package simply because it doesn't have excessive amenities and the size is small...I was just curious what everyone else call it...

4' SW - fridge, microwave, shower, toilet, lots of cabinets, pressurized water system, sink, hot water (of course), AC.

I guess I always approached the different titles as practical ways to name them....I don't think I could LIVE out of mine longer than a weekend, but some of the bigger LQ's (with basically the same amenities, just in a larger space) I could LIVE in a lot longer.

In my mind, which is no authority (!) I have envisioned thus:

Weekender.... smaller finished interior, AC, pressurized hot/cold water, shower of some kind, maybe a microwave  and other 110 outlets. Portapotti or perhaps toilet.

LQ... of course larger finished interior, AC,  furnace, cook-top, microwave, inside LQ shower, toilet, holding tanks.  Cabinets and hanging closets.  Most likely a bathroom with a door separate from the living area.

WOULD YOU HAPPEN TO HAVE PICS. OF INSIDE OF TRAIELR?? I HAVE AN ALMOST 4FT SW. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE HOW ALL OF THIS FITS IN THAT AMOUNT OF SPACE.  THANKS, JEAN

HI, I JUST TRIED THE WEB SITE OF jdjconversios.com  it brought me back  to this web page !!! DID I MISS SOMETHING FOR SITE?? PLEASE let me know. Thanks, again Jean

I consider mine a weekender, though I have comfortably stayed in it for an 11 day stretch

6' SW - propane fridge, cooktop, & hot water heater, AC, sink, water pump, water tank, dinnette, cabinets, cowboy shower, microwave, pass through door, portapotty, screen door, awning. Since it doesn't have a "real toilet" and only a cowboy shower, I wouldn't consider it a full LQ, but it is very comfortable for me.
