I would like some ideas on how to transform a bumper pull dressing room into sleeping quarters.  One idea I have is to convert a three horse slant into a two horse slant with a rear tack.  I would extend the dressing room into the first stall.

I'm a little concerned that hauling two horses in the very rear of a three horse trailer would add too much weight in the back.  It is my understanding that most of the weight should be as far forward as possible.  I will be using portable camping equipment as opposed to permament living quarters so there will not be a lot of weight up front to offset the weight in the back.

Any comments if this is possible, and if so any suggestions on a trailer? Thanks.

qhgirl.....very nice, could you tell me where you found your refrigerator?  Is it an ice box fridge or is it electric?

Great photos!  I'm wondering why BP LQ aren't more popular.  Seems desirable for those who don't want the added weight of a Gosseneck, but are sick of crawling in and out of out truck campers.

I have a 3Horse CM and am thinking about converting that rather than buy a new one.  It's been a reliable, safe trailer and it's already paid for.

Any ideas who to contact in the Phoenix area to move the dressing room wall back, add some windows, and a rear tack?

Thanks, Daafy
