Designing The Living Quarter Of Horse Trailers

Defined Tag: Living Quarter Horse Trailers.

The living quarter of horse trailers provides housing and comfort to the horse owner and caretaker. Horse trailers are used to transport competition horses from one place to another. The horses are well-protected inside their ramps, and so must its owners or caretakers, too. For a single or dual horse trailer, living quarters can be disregarded. For a four horse trailer, since an added load will not be much of a difference for the tow vehicle, a living quarter can be integrated to provide comfort and safety for people. The usual package for a living quarter includes bunkers, a kitchen and cooking area, a restroom and the regular appliances.

There are those people, however, who prefer to buy a trailer shell and build their own living quarters instead. In this case, the most important thing to design is the storage tank, the electrical source, the power generator, and the water pump. A lot of adaptors, chargers and inverters will also be needed here. There are sites available online such as phrannie.org and RV Surplus that gives very good advice on how to dress up a trailer. Most trailer living quarters nowadays have modern appliances such as TVs, DVDs, heaters, and airconditioning.

Comfort is an issue in the living quarters of a horse trailers. It should at least mimic the appearance of an ordinary household to make it cozy. Its insulation is different from the horse trailer itself. Instead of riveted insulation, the living quarter must have a heat-resistant and steel reinforced fiberglass roof that is tough, light weight, and flexible. It also has side walls with air spaces separating the inside from the outside wall. Sometimes, a styrofoam insulation is used instead.

The living quarters in horse trailers are usually designed to be compact. In general, cabinets are built around the room; and under them is the bunker or sofa bed. Likewise, the space beneath the bunker is used as cabinet space. Also, the toilet is small, just enough to sit on, but is not the usual size. It has a pedal flush instead of the regular flush mechanism. The living quarter of horse trailers is compact yet still comfortable for people.
