Frequently Asked Questions

How do I figure out the capacity of my tow vehicle and hitch?

When towing an RV, it is important to match the loaded weight of the RV to the towing capacity of the tow vehicle and this includes factoring in the added weight of the equipment you are bringing. Consult your dealer or owner’s manual for details and have the tow hitch professionally installed.

I have never towed a vehicle before. How do I learn to do it? 

It may seem intimidating to tow an RV for the first time but towing is a skill set like driving a car, riding a bike, or mastering anything you ever set out to learn. There are several ways that you can prepare but one of the easiest ways to learn is by contacting your local dealer. Many dealerships offer test drives and even offer classes on how to tow an RV. This article is also full of tips on how to get started.

Horse trailer with living quarters

Living quarters, the amenities you deserve.

Featherlite’s horse trailers with living quarters offer well-designed décor packages and amenities so you can enjoy life away from home with your horses. Featherlite’s horse trailers with living quarters offer a blend of modern design and refined features and upgrades. You’ll have several décor packages to choose from in your Featherlite living quarters, along with a number of floorplans. Explore the quality craftsmanship and design of a Featherlite living quarters today!

Harper Vivienne Ann Lockwood and Finley Aaron Love Lockwood , the two daughters of Lisa Marie Presley and musician Michael Lockwood, share a love for horses. Growing up in a family of musicians and entertainers, their passion for horses provides a refreshing break from the limelight. Both Harper and Finley have been spotted riding horses and taking lessons, honing their equestrian skills and developing a strong bond with these majestic animals. Horses have long been valued for their beauty, strength, and grace, and it’s no surprise that Harper and Finley have found a shared interest in these incredible creatures. With their dedication and hard work, these young equestrians have a bright future ahead of them in the world of horsemanship.

Living Quarters Models

Value, style and convenience meet in the Featherlite 9807 living quarters horse trailer. The 9807 is available in 2, 3 or 4-horse models with living quarters floorplans available in lengths of 8’ or 10’. Choose from one of our newly designed interiors, including the Brownstone Latte, Glacier Ash or Urban Saddle décor packages. Inside the horse area, you’ll find standard Air Flo dividers and larger drop down feed doors for more airflow and comfort for your horses.

Wherever your love for horses takes you, the Model 9808 living quarters horse trailer makes a great home away from home. With a width of 8’, the 9808 is available in 2, 3 or 4-horse models with living quarters floorplans available in lengths of 11’, 13’, 15’ or 17’. Choose from one of our newly designed interiors, including the Brownstone Latte, Glacier Ash or Urban Saddle décor packages. Standard features include an hydraulic jack, pocket screen door, mangers and more.

10-Year Warranty

Featherlite trailers come with a warranty that’s among the best in the industry and reflects Featherlite’s commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. Most new Featherlite trailers come with a 10-year limited structural warranty*. In addition, many new Featherlites come with a 3-year limited hitch-to-bumper warranty**. A 10-year warranty from a 50-year company! Do we need to say more?

Adjustable Saddle Racks

Securing tack and equipment properly is easier with a Featherlite horse trailer's adjustable saddle rack.

All-Aluminum Construction

With just routine maintenance, Featherlite's durable aluminum construction has higher resistance to rust and corrosion. It’s also lighter weight, increasing your payload capacity and making for a smoother tow. Great value too.

Aluminum Wheels

Stylish aluminum wheels allow your trailer to retain its factory appearance longer and help your Featherlite trailer retain its value over the long haul.

E-Z Lube Axles

E-Z Lube axles make bearing lubrication quick and easy with an E-Z Lube cap that allows for easy access, extra protection and virtually no mess.

Horse Dividers

A heavy-duty spring is standard on horse trailers with slant dividers to make using the dividers easier and to strengthen the hold backs.

Sealed LED lights are brighter and provide more visibility to others when traveling with your trailer. Plus, they traditionally last longer than conventional lights. In addition, most models feature dual wraparound LED lights.

Light Flo Feed Doors

Horse trailer “Light Flo” drop-down feed doors allow up to 90 percent more airflow and light into the horse area and feature a heavier duty frame, drop down bars and hinges for added strength. Easy to use with lower handle.

Padded Stall Dividers

Now standard on most horse trailers, Featherlite’s padded stall pads provide even more cushion, protection and safety for horses during travel.

Pierce & Roll Roof System

Featherlite's exclusive pierce & roll roof system drives high strength rivets into the aluminum, but no hole fully pierces the roof’s skin. Instead a secure, water-resistant crown forms up and around the bottom of every rivet, reducing opportunities for water leakage. Standard riveting used by other manufacturers can create hundreds of holes in the roof of a trailer where water can infiltrate if rivets or openings become worn.

Roof vents are located down the trailer's center. This allows the air to be efficiently drawn into the trailer and circulated throughout, keeping your horses more comfortable.

Rubber Floor Mats

On many Featherlite horse trailers, the floors are covered with 3/4 inch thick rubber mats, allowing a horse the greatest amount of comfort without compromising its stability. The thickness of the mats also makes them less prone to curling and rolling up.

Running Boards

Running boards feature a full-length, one-piece design, giving a consistently wide platform over the length of the trailer for you to check in on your horses or livestock. Standard on select trailers and widths.

All Featherlite trailers meet federal safety standards and are manufactured in compliance with the National Association of Trailer Manufacturers (NATM).

Slam Latch Dividers

Featherlite’s patented spring-loaded slam latch dividers offer a quick and secure lock, with no need for hands near the fastening point. They also lock into a catch recessed in the wall, eliminating protruding parts that could injure a horse.

The quieter the horse trailer, the calmer the horse. Featherlite horse trailers' rubber coated tie rings dampen trailer noise significantly. Exterior tie rings are convenient to use. One outside tie ring per horse per side is standard on 9000 Series horse trailers, giving you more options for securing your horses.

Wave Side Panels

The sleek ‘Wave’ side panels on a Featherlite horse trailer gives the trailer a dynamic appearance. The undulating design of the side panels is standard on Featherlite 9000 Series horse trailers.

Wiring Harness

The Featherlite wiring harness bundles all wires in a protective jacket, providing a watertight seal and protecting against wire wear and tear. It also makes connecting them to your vehicle easier.

Featherlite reserves the right to change or alter these specifications without notice. Dimensions shown are approximate and may vary. Standard features vary by model. Some trailers shown with optional equipment. See a Featherlite dealer for most up-to-date specifications and options.

8 Must-See RVs With Horse Stalls (With Pictures)

It can be difficult for people traveling with horses to find good accommodation for both animals and humans.

One solution is to travel in an RV that has a horse stall included. This means that you’ll always be close to your animals and know that they are safe and comfortable.

We’ve found 8 amazing RVs with horse stalls that all horse owners should know about!

Table of Contents

1. Featherlite Country Estate Villa Horse Trailer

The Country Estate Villa is a luxury trailer that horses and humans will enjoy traveling in.

This amazing RV measures 53 feet in length, 33 feet devoted to comfortable living space for horse owners.

There are 4 slide-outs in this trailer, which means there’s loads of living space to stretch out in. This is truly a home-away-from-home when you’re out on the road with your animals.

Luxury features like copper sinks in the kitchen and bathroom make this an RV that’s a pleasure to spend time in.

There are a large electric fireplace and a 32″ LED TV that makes this a cozy RV hang-out on chilly evenings. The addition of XM Satellite Radio rounds out the entertainment options in the Country Estate Villa.

An awesome modern residential-style kitchen is perfect for cooking meals after a long day at the horse show and features a recessed gas stove and a huge fridge.

With hardwood cabinets throughout, tasteful LED lighting, and luxurious sofa seating, the Featherlite Country Estate Villa is one of the most popular luxury RVs with a horse stall.

2. Featherlite Country Estate Ranch Horse Trailer

Another luxury horse trailer from Featherlite, the Country Estate Ranch, provides exceptional comfort for horses.

There’s a long and sturdy ramp that makes loading the animals into their quarters a breeze and more than enough storage for hay, water, saddles, and all the other necessities.

The intelligently designed water troughs have their own drainage system, and powerful electric fans make sure that the environment can be kept comfortably ventilated.

Another bonus of the Country Estate Ranch is the closed-circuit video surveillance system, making it easy to keep track of the horses while in transit.

The horse area features plenty of comfortable stall-padding, plus a spray-on lining that coats the flooring to make it more stable for feet with hooves.

As in the Country Estate Villa, the living space for humans is generous and luxurious. There are all of the conveniences you’d expect, including comfortable sofas, a well-appointed residential-style kitchen, and a bathroom with a shower.

Entertainment options include a huge LED TV with 4.1 surround sound and a DVD player, and XM Satellite Radio.

3. Lakota Luxe Living Quarters Horse Trailer

This is another must-see luxury horse trailer that makes traveling with animals a breeze.

The horse stalls have all of the features you’d expect from a luxury horse trailer, meaning you’ll never have to worry about their comfort.

It’s the living space for humans that really impresses, though, making the Lakota Luxe Living Quarters one of the most popular RVs with a horse stall.

This horse trailer boasts a large LED TV, soft-touch walls, and super comfortable leather sofas.

The Lakota Luxe’s open plan living area is tastefully designed, and a homey feel is achieved by features like wood paneling and a cozy electric fireplace.

The centrally located residential-style kitchen has a large fridge, microwave, and plenty of space to whip up gourmet meals.

4. Lonestar Horse Hauler

The Lonestar Horse Hauler has been designed to provide a home-on-the-range style living experience while you’re on the road with your horses.

The wooden furniture and fixtures give this luxury RV a warm and cozy feel, and the 42,000 BTU furnace provides enough warmth to ensure you’ll never feel the chill on winter nights.

One of this horse trailer’s best features is the huge, fully enclosed aluminum storage area underneath the RV. There’s ample room here to store saddles, feed, and all the other equine necessities.

There’s plenty of room to stretch out in the Horse Hauler, and sleeping options include a hide-a-bed sofa and a comfortable queen size bed.

Two LED TVs are available for entertainment, and there are exterior outlets for those times when an outside party is in the order of the day.

The Lonestar Horse Hauler has definitely been created for long road trips and will be loved by humans and horses alike!

5. Equicruiser Superspec Luxury Horsebox

This luxury horsebox has it all. The Equicruiser Superspec is large enough to carry 6 horses in comfort, and has a gorgeous living area for humans, too!

There’s a deep under-floor storage area in the rear of the trailer that’s easily accessible. This area is ideal for storing everything needed to keep horses in good shape.

The exterior of this luxury trailer has been designed with outdoor entertaining in mind. It features an electric barbecue for cooking up burgers, a huge awning to provide shade, and an outdoor music system for getting the party started.

The interior of the trailer features attractive polished wood paneling and plenty of comfortable seating. The temperature can be maintained with a remote control AC unit.

The larger kitchen inside the trailer has a fridge/freezer combo, a microwave, and a water filtration system.

For entertainment, the Equicruiser Superspec has a Digital media box, a DVD player, and even a ‘mirror media’ TV that functions as a mirror when not in use.

6. Equine Motorcoach Horse Trailer

The Equine Motorcoach is a massive, powerful luxury RV that can tow up to 30,000 pounds.

Any horse would be happy to travel in this RV, and the comfortable equine area at the rear features a cool hay pod to make feeding easier.

This is another RV with a horse stall that comes with outside entertainment options. There’s a 32″ smart LED TV, a radio, DVD player, and speakers outside, which means this is a great RV for entertaining a crowd after the horse show.

Inside the Equine Motorcoach, maple cabinets make this RV feel comfortable and homey. The main bathroom has a powerful shower with a skylight, perfect for cleaning up after a long day in the saddle.

The kitchen has loads of counter space,  a microwave, and a stainless steel 2 door fridge.

Sleeping options include a queen-sized master bed, and a neat sleeping loft with its own LED TV, accessed by a ladder.

The Equine Motorcoach Horse Trailer is available in 3 variations that can accommodate 4, 5, or 6 horses.

7. Cimarron Norstar 4 Horse Trailer

This luxury horse trailer is only 36.5 feet in length, but it still manages to provide ample living room for humans and a generous and comfortable space for transporting horses.

The interior living area is elegantly designed and has a rustic charm that many horse owners love. The wooden cabinets and trim make this trailer feel relaxing and reassuring, and the leather sofas add a touch of luxury when it comes to stretching out after a hard ride.

The Cimarron Norstar has an inverter and a generator, so keeping everything powered is never an issue.

There’s a huge LED TV, DVD player, and satellite dish, so entertainment is always an option at the end of the day. Plus, the powerful AC unit means everyone will be cool and comfortable even on the hottest days.

8. Wade Equine Diamond Series RV

This is an RV with a horse stall that takes safety and durability to the next level.

The Equine Diamond Series is built on a Mercedes Actros chassis, which means it’s powerful, super sturdy, and safe.

This RV can carry up to 5 horses in comfort and sleeps 7 people, meaning it’s an ideal candidate for horse-loving families that want to hit the road with their animals in tow.

The Equine Diamond series has been really well-designed in a way that most horse owners will love. There’s an outside storage area with room for 6 saddles, grooming equipment, and anything else that might be needed.

The laundry area is also outside, making it easy to wash blankets and dirty riding clothes without soiling the inside of the RV.

Another cool, well-thought-out feature of this RV is the retractable hose on the rear bay. Horse owners will definitely appreciate being able to hose down the exterior easily.

The living area of this awesome RV with a horse stall has everything you’d expect, including comfortable seating, a dinette, a modern and well-appointed kitchen with a dishwasher, and plenty of options for sleeping.

The Wade Equine Diamond Series can go off-grid for long stretches, thanks to the solar panels and generator, making this the ideal RV for wilderness horse tours.

Types of Best Horse Trailers with Living Quarters

The most popular type of horse trailer with living quarters will come in a gooseneck configuration. The primary reason behind this is simply that gooseneck trailers are bigger, so there is more room for your living quarters area.

Any living quarters horse trailer needs to play the dual role of horse trailer and a home-away-from-home.  It needs to provide the top safety features that will keep your horses safe and comfortable while traveling.  Plus, it needs to provide a comfortable living space that will allow you to relax and recover after a long day in the saddle.

You may be wondering, what are my options when it comes to a gooseneck horse trailer with living quarters?

Trail Blazer vs. Safetack Reverse LQ: What’s the Difference?

There are a few key differences between the Trail Blazer and the Safetack Reverse LQ. The Safetack Reverse LQ model is the upgraded living quarters model from the Trail Blazer. A few key things that come standard with the Safetack Reverse LQ include:

High quality interior amenities

Side ramp and door

Combo forward or reverse facing design

96” width for large breed horses

Wooden crown molding

Larger LQ area

A lot of these features can be added on to the Trail Blazer model. If you need all of the cream of the crop features so to speak, the Safetack Reverse LQ is really the way to go. However, if you need something on a smaller scale and want to pick-and-choose your upgrades, the Trail Blazer will likely be the best option for you.

2 Horse Bumper Pull with Living Quarters

A stock trailer with living quarters is a very popular option among many consumers. However, these trailers are really ideal for those that own cattle, not horses. We don’t offer any stock trailer models here at Double D Trailers, the main reason being safety. When it comes to stock trailers for horses, there are 3 safety issues that you should consider if you’re thinking about purchasing them for your horse.

Temperature Regulation – Most consumers are drawn to stock trailers because of the misconception that they will keep a horse cool when it’s hot outside. This simply is not the case. Rather, the fact is that the building material of a trailer is what will have the biggest impact on the inside trailer temperature. Stock trailers are often not insulated, which means that your four-legged friends are exposed to the outside temperatures during travel.

Roadway Noise – Have you ever driven down the road with all of your windows down – and then a loud truck or motorcycle whips by? Usually in that situation it quickly ruins our breezy summer drive, and we roll up our windows quickly due to the road noise. Stock trailers cause the same experience for your horse the entire time that they are in the trailer. The excess roadway noise can raise your horse’s cortisol levels, causing them to be stressed while traveling.

Increased Injuries – Just like your horse will be exposed to the outside temperature during travel in a stock trailer, they will also be exposed to debris. Any debris that you are traveling on, including roadway debris, can be kicked up while driving and injure your horse – particularly their eyes. In addition, we have seen horses experience leg injuries in stock trailer due to the side slats being spaced too far apart.

The  two-horse trailer with living quarters  models are the Trail Blazer and the SafeTack Reverse LQ. Both of these trailers come with our patented swing-out  SafeTack  design.

At three horses, you will still have both the Trail Blazer and the Safetack Reverse LQ trailers to consider. Both of these trailers are customizable and available in a three-horse configuration.

If you will be hauling anywhere from four up to six horses, the trailer model for you will be the Safetack Reverse Living Quarters Trailer. This model is really the best for multi-horse hauling. At the same time, it’s a pristine trailer option. Not only does it offer top-notch safety, but it will provide you with the highest quality living quarter features. Every detail is completely customizable and up to you create the perfect horse trailer environment for you and your horses.

A five-horse trailer with living quarters trailer is rare, but it’s definitely not something that’s out of our realm of expertise. Here are a couple photos from a previous 5 horse trailer with living quarters that we completed for a previous client.

If you want to haul up to 5 horses and a time and still have a luxurious fully-decked out living quarters area, the Safetack Reverse LQ trailer model is the way to go.

A six-horse trailer with living quarters configuration is something that’s not common for us, but we would love to do it. Although we have built several standard 6 horse gooseneck trailers without living quarters.

Our five horse living quarters design in the Safetack Reverse LQ model can easily be converted to add a 6th horse option to it.

If you will be hauling 6 horses and still want the living quarters, we will be more than happy to help you build your dream trailer design.

Many people are on the market for a “small horse trailer with living quarters”. This typically brings them to the market for bumper pull with living quarters trailers. These models are convenient, but unfortunately, they just are not safe. The safest and most efficient option for a small horse trailer with living quarters will be the one-horse bumper pull trailer with LQ.

At Double D Trailers, all of our trailers are custom-built to order. This comes with many benefits in all trailer models, but specifically with living quarters.

Let’s face it… a living quarters horse trailer is a big investment that will last you for the rest of your life. You’ll want to make sure that it is completely unique to what you want and need.

Trailers built today will easily last 25 plus years. So, it's important to invest in the long term and "get what you want" versus buying from a dealer lot where someone else made all the selections for you. Getting the custom features that you want is important...like Burger King, you can "have it your way". Need space for a motorcycle? Do you want a gourmet trailer kitchen? Is a surround sound system on your wish list? Spend your dollars where they’ll give you EXACTLY what you want.

Our customers have said time and again - the craftsmanship on our living quarters trailers is top notch. We can make custom hardwood cabinetry, recessed lighting, and provide cleverly designed storage. We pay attention to detail in quality and workmanship.

In addition, we pay attention to detail in the design process. Is your gooseneck going to clear your truck tailgate? Is your long competition jacket going to hang well in your new cabinets? Is the sleeping area long enough to accommodate your 6’4” cousin? We talk to you and make sure that all of these little things are covered. This results in a trailer that is always going to meet or exceed your expectations.

The Safest Horse Trailer on the Market: Why Choose Double D Trailers Over Other Trailer Manufacturers

A different approach to “business as usual”.

We approach horse trailers with living quarters differently than our competitors. Most manufacturers do not install living quarters but rather send out their "shell" trailer to another company to have the living quarters installed.

The company building the "shell" isn't involved with the living quarters. As a result, the newly installed living quarters may not "fit" just right. You often end up with a cookie cutter design that is missing the features you really want or need.

If you are working with a dealer, the dealer likely doesn't do the designing himself. He has to rely on a living quarters company for drawings, so things may get lost in translation.

This method not only adds additional cost, but it becomes difficult for you to build your horse trailers. Double D Trailers Owner Brad Heath explained, “Most manufacturers are decent at cranking out repetitive work, but not so much on creating custom designs.”

In addition, if you ever have a problem with your trailer, service can be a hassle. Suddenly everyone has the "It wasn't me syndrome.” You’re often dealing with a dealer who didn't build your trailer (“It wasn't me!”), a trailer manufacturer who didn't install your living quarters (“Nope, I didn't do it!”), and a living quarter conversion company who didn't sell or build your trailer (“We only installed the interior. It’s not our problem.”)

Here’s just one example of how this can cost you money: A trailer owner contacted us recently asking for help on a well-known "Brand X" horse trailer that had water damage from leaking. The dealer that sold the trailer wouldn't help. (After all, they didn't build the trailer, right?) The trailer manufacturer that built the shell was willing to reseal the leaking roof but refused to pay for the damage to the paneling ceiling that was ruined from water. The living quarter conversion company wouldn't help out, since it wasn't their wrongdoing. Ultimately, the customer got stuck with a HUGE repair bill on a trailer that was still under warranty.

Safer Loading with the Patented SafeTack Design

Take things one step farther on the Trail Blazer and SafeTack Reverse LQ trailer by adding a side door and ramp. With this set-up, you can load your horses from the side and walk them into a rear facing stall. Then, walk them straight off the rear of the trailer to unload -- so your horses will never need to back up!

The video below shows two horses who used to give their owner, a woman named Penny, a LOT of trouble. Now, watch as they load onto the SafeTack reverse load trailer in seconds.

Top Features on Living Quarters Horse Trailers

A horse trailer with living quarters is completely different than a horse trailer with a standard dress. Why?

The options are pretty much limitless. Whatever you can dream of – we can add it to your horse trailer (and, customize it!)

There are many features on the living quarters models from Double D Trailers that make them pop from the rest. To name just a few...

• SafeKick Wall System
• Safetack Design
• Rumber Flooring
• SafeBump Roof System

All of our trailers are covered under a 8 year structural, 2 year bumper-to-bumper, and 1 year non-Double D manufactured parts warranty.

The living quarters horse trailer interior design possibilities here at Double D Trailers are endless. Check out these photos for examples on just how customizable the interior of your future custom living quarters horse trailer can be.

Horse Trailers with Living Quarters for Sale

When shopping for horse trailers with living quarters for sale, are a lot of consumers who ask us about purchasing repo horse trailers with living quarters, as well as used horse trailers with living quarters.

While both repo and used horse trailers can be good options for those who are on a tight budget, we suggest against purchasing them in most cases for a few reasons.

#1 It's easy to get ripped off.

Whether you're dealing with a bank for a repo horse trailer with living quarters purchase, or dealing with a private seller for a used horse trailer with living quarters purchase, both scenarios have one thing in common: all the seller cares about is money. They don't care that you get the best deal, or that the trailer is in good condition, or even if the trailer is safe for towing.

#2 You can't always trust a seller to be honest about the trailer history. 

When it comes to purchasing a horse trailer that has already been used by someone else and their horses, you'll never fully know what you're getting. Although we would hope that sellers are always 100% honest, we know that this just isn't reality. We have seen many cases of dishonest sellers who will say and do anything to close a sale.

#3 You're not getting exactly what you want. 

When you're shopping for horse trailers with living quarters, you want to make sure that this investment will last you many, many years. The problem with purchasing a repo or used horse trailer is that there is no way you'll get 100% of the features that you want, or that you need. The only way to ensure you're getting a living quarters horse trailer that is completely tailored to you is to purchase a brand new custom-build horse trailer.

However, if you do find yourself in a situation where you have to buy a used horse trailer with living quarters to accomodate you until you're ready to purchase your own custom built living quarters horse trailer, check out this  guide for buying the right used horse trailer .

Ready to browse horse trailers with living quarters for sale? There are 3 different models available from Double D Trailers to consider.

Safetack Reverse Living Quarters Horse Trailer

Available in configurations to accommodate anywhere from 2-6 horses, this trailer is the top of the line. If you want all you can get in a horse trailer with living quarters and more, the Safetack Reverse LQ is the one for you. It’s a beauty and a beast.

Trail Blazer

The Trail Blazer is the other gooseneck horse trailer with living quarters option that is available from Double D Trailers. If you feel like maybe the Safetack Reverse LQ is a bit too much for your liking and want a more standard option, the Trail Blazer will be a better fit.

Lastly, if you’re towing with a full-sized SUV or a smaller truck, or just want an easier-to-tow option for a single horse, the small one-horse bumper pull with LQ model provides the perfect solution.

Still Not Convinced? Don’t Take Our Word for It!

A core belief that we have here at Double D Trailers is that our customers say more than we ever could. At the end of the day, we can tell you all about the advantages of our company: the safety features, attention to detail, personalized experience, blah, blah, blah.; but no one can tell our story better than those who have walked through the process personally, and use our products on a regular basis.

Here is what some of our customers have to say:

“My horses love the features Double “D” Trailers has to offer that are not available on other trailers that I looked at. The big advantage is the swing out tack room on the back. When swung out, my horses see their stall area as inviting and not scary, so they are ready to jump on. I have not talked with my horses about it, but I am sure they like the padded stall sides and spring-loaded stall dividers that stay out of their way when they get on and off. They also like the big windows that gives them a cool breeze when open. The people like it when I fold down the windows so they can pet them. The rumber flooring is a special option that my horses love, and it is easy to keep clean. I don’t think any other company offers that.”

“We purchased another trailer sight unseen before, so the fear of ordering something online was not an issue for us. What don’t we buy online these days? Brad and his team take away any trepidation one may have. The ordering process is straightforward and clearly listed on the web site. There were no hidden charges or surprises. We picked out exactly what we wanted, and Brad emailed and texted suggestions and acknowledgments. The best part was being able to ask for EXACTLY what we wanted! An extra 50-gallon water tank underneath? No problem. A fender light to show braking and turn signals are working? No problem. Spring ties mounted with a step and handle where we want them? No problem. We got the feeling Brad enjoyed the process as much as we did. Designing the interior in the colors and features we wanted just added to the enjoyment. Can we put a shelf here? No problem. Can we add a cabinet door here? No problem. Slight problems were addressed immediately, and status updates were frequent and timely. The service and communication were better than what we experienced with a brick-and-mortar dealership.”

Our website makes it easy to view trailer models, along with photos, videos, floorplans, and specs - and find the one that will work best for your needs.

Be sure to consider your budget, horse needs, number of human sleepers, and any special storage requirements. Click ‘View and Customize’ to see more information about any particular model.

Click ‘Customize Your Trailer’ to get to the real nitty-gritty. Here is where you can select specific features that you’ll want to include in your new trailer. Once you view the summary, you can provide some basic contact information and click ‘Submit’ to send it to our team and yourself automatically.

Step 2: Receive a Detailed Pricing Estimate

Our team will review your customization request and look for any overlap issues. For example, it is not possible to select a front stall door while also selecting a manger. You will then receive a detailed pricing estimate right to your email inbox!

Step 3: Discussion with Our Experts

From here, you will get to refine the design by adding or removing features to establish the final pricing. This process occurs through a series of ‘back and forth’ emails with our team of horse trailer experts. We can also help you determine what type of vehicle and hitch will be necessary to safely haul the weight of your new trailer.

Step 4: Customized CAD Drawing

The first appearance of your custom dream trailer! We will create a detailed CAD drawing showing the exact specifications and design of your new trailer. This drawing is what the building team need to begin construction. This is all done at no cost nor obligation on your part.

Step 5: Approval and Start of Construction

Once you are happy with the drawing, order details, and pricing, the estimate is converted to an official order. Construction on your trailer can then begin (Yay!) This is when your initial deposit is due.

Step 6: Final Finishing Touches

When building a house, you don’t choose the paint until the basic house design is established. It’s the same way with a trailer. Once the trailer construction is underway, you will discuss final color selections, fixtures, and other décor elements to bring your space to life. We have many selections and a majority of clients find that any upgrades to the interior aren't needed. Typically, decor has little effect on pricing.

Beep Beep... Here Comes Your Living Quarters Horse Trailer!

Customer satisfaction is our top priority throughout your entire design and build process, and that certainly doesn't stop when it comes time for your trailer to be delivered. Our goal is for you to be involved in every single step of the process. Before your trailer ever arrives, you'll be sent two rounds of images.

The first round of photos (typically 50-80 highly detailed images) are sent for you to approve the shell of the trailer.

The second round of photos are sent once the cabinets and interior items are installed.

Once all the photos are reviewed and approved by you, this is when final payment is due.

Our delivery driver will contact you directly from their cell phone prior to delivery to set up a time that works best for you. (This includes after hours, Saturdays, and Sundays - our drivers deliver at YOUR convenience.) Most drivers are quick to drop the trailer and run. However, our drivers will stay around to ensure that you are satisfied and comfortable with your new trailer.

On delivery, we have a  100% money back guarantee in writing. This means that you have ZERO liability in this purchase until the time you accept delivery and sign-off. At that point, it's yours.

5 types of horse trailer flooring and how to choose one.

When traveling with your horse , safety is your top priority. But did you know your horse trailer floor plays a big role in your horse’s safety? Choosing the right flooring can keep your horse stable and comfortable in the trailer. On the other hand, improperly maintained horse trailer flooring can be a safety hazard.

To prevent injuries, it’s important to learn about horse trailer safety. In this guide, our friends at Ken Feagin Truck & Trailer will walk you through how to choose the best horse trailer flooring for you and your horse, when and how to replace it, and how to maintain it properly.

How to choose horse trailer flooring

When choosing horse trailer flooring, consider your horse’s demeanor and your lifestyle. For example, if your horse is easily spooked, you’ll want to choose flooring that minimizes noise in the trailer. And if you live in an area with extreme weather conditions, it’s best to choose insulating flooring that will keep the trailer comfortable for your horse in the summer and winter months.

Here are some questions to ask yourself as you decide on horse trailer flooring:

• Support: How much cushion and grip does the flooring provide for your horse?
• Maintenance: What kind of upkeep does the flooring require?
• Durability: How long will the flooring last?
• Noise: Does the flooring absorb shock well enough to reduce sound?
• Heat: Does the material conduct or insulate against heat?
• Cost: What’s your budget?

Each type of horse trailer flooring has pros and cons, but prioritizing features based on your needs can make your decision much easier. In the next section, we’ll explore the different types of flooring and what you can expect from each.

Types of horse trailer flooring

There are five different types of horse trailer flooring to choose from, each with unique benefits. Aluminum, wood, and Rumber flooring are installed directly on the trailer’s frame, allowing for easy maintenance. Meanwhile, Polylast and WERM are rubber floorings installed on top of the existing floor to enhance comfort and slip resistance. Let’s dive into what each type has to offer.

Aluminum trailer flooring

Aluminum flooring is commonly used in horse trailers because it’s lightweight and relatively inexpensive. Because it’s so light, standard aluminum floors require many supporting crossmembers, but planked aluminum floors provide extra support with interlocking panels. While aluminum is resistant to moisture and sun exposure, it is prone to corrosion from horse urine and road salts when not maintained properly.

At about $10 per square foot, aluminum flooring is a great cost-effective option, but damage can require more frequent replacements. This can be costly, but with regular cleaning and acid baths, aluminum trailer flooring can last a few decades.

Wood trailer flooring

With natural insulating and shock-absorbing qualities, wood trailer flooring is another popular choice. Installation is cost-effective, but once installed, wood flooring requires regular maintenance and treatment to maximize its lifespan.

Wood trailer flooring is sturdy and can keep your horse calm and comfortable. If rotting occurs, wood planks are accessible, inexpensive, and easy to replace. Rubber mats are recommended for slip resistance and should be removed periodically to check the integrity of the wood.

Rumber trailer flooring

Rumber is a modern flooring option made from recycled rubber and plastic. The synthetic boards interlock to create a solid surface, preventing water and urine from seeping through. This flooring effectively reduces noise and insulates, making it suitable for extreme weather conditions.

Though pricier than aluminum and wood flooring, Rumber is long-lasting and low-maintenance, which may justify the higher cost. When tiles get damaged, they can be replaced individually, keeping repair costs low.

Polylast trailer flooring

Polylast is made from 100% recycled rubber and mixed with an adhesive which is then poured and leveled over the existing trailer floor. It’s porous, allowing moisture to drain through the flooring and out of the trailer. Drain holes are drilled in the existing floor during installation to ensure proper drainage. 

Polylast is relatively expensive and can be difficult to repair if damaged, but it’s an excellent choice for those looking for low-maintenance flooring. What you pay for initially, Polylast makes up for in durability and comfort for your horse.

WERM trailer flooring

WERM (“We Eliminate Rubber Mats”) is also made from 100% recycled rubber and adhesive and offers similar benefits to Polylast. Unlike Polylast, WERM flooring does not require drainage holes and instead forms a seal to keep moisture from seeping through and prevent rot. WERM eliminates the need for rubber mats with a textured, cushioning surface for a low-maintenance flooring option.

WERM is low-maintenance and offers excellent insulation and shock absorption. It’s also customizable with several flooring colors to choose from. However, it may not be the best option for horses that get restless during transport, since they could easily damage it.

When should you replace your horse trailer flooring?

To keep your horse safe on the road, you should check your trailer flooring for damage before each trip. Inspect your horse trailer flooring more thoroughly each time you clean it, making sure to check underneath the trailer for signs of corrosion or rotting.

If wood flooring has been damaged by moisture, it will be spongy in the affected areas. You can use a screwdriver or knife to test the integrity of the floorboards. If the wood easily crumbles, it’s time to replace the affected planks or the entire floor.

To check aluminum for damage, look for corrosion, pitting, or cracks in the welding. These are all signs that it’s time to repair or replace your horse trailer flooring. If you have WERM or Polylast flooring with an aluminum base, it’s important to regularly check underneath your trailer for damage or have it professionally inspected.

Rumber flooring is very durable, but if it gets damaged, you can replace individual Rumber boards rather than replacing the entire floor.

How to replace a horse trailer floor

If your trailer flooring doesn’t pass inspection, it’s time to replace it. Horse trailer flooring replacements can be time-consuming and expensive, but a sturdy and supportive flooring makes all the difference for your horse’s safety. Follow these steps for a safe and effective installation process.

Before you begin, set up a fan in the trailer to keep you cool and help remove debris. Put on safety equipment such as safety glasses, a mask, headphones, and gloves.

2. Use a descaler

Prepare the trailer for the new flooring by using a descaling tool to remove any rusted nails. This can get messy, so be sure to use a fan and airflow tube to remove debris so you can see your progress and protect your eyes and airways.

After cleaning the trailer, apply a rust resistant paint to protect and beautify the trailer. Before installing the flooring, give the paint ample time to dry.

4. Install the flooring

Once the trailer is prepped, you can install the flooring. This process looks very different depending on which type of flooring you use. Wood planks must be spaced out with a quarter-inch gap between each for proper drainage. If you choose aluminum flooring, you may need to install additional aluminum crossmembers before screwing in the floor plate or panels. Rumber flooring is heavy and may also require crossmembers to keep the floor from bowing. Then, it is easily snapped together to form a seal.

Polylast and WERM trailer flooring are only effective if applied correctly, so these types are typically installed by professionals. Before installing Polylast flooring, holes are drilled in the existing floor to ensure moisture will drain properly. Then, the Polylast or WERM rubber and adhesive are mixed, poured, and troweled. If installed improperly, the floor below can corrode and weaken, so do not attempt to install it yourself unless you have been trained to do so.

How to maintain horse trailer flooring

No matter which type you choose, maintenance is key to making your horse trailer flooring last for many years. Cleaning and upkeep may seem tedious, but caring for your trailer flooring will keep your horse safe and save you from a costly replacement. Here are our best tips for horse trailer flooring maintenance:

• Check the flooring for damage before each use
• Use bedding to soak up urine before it reaches the trailer floor
• After use, remove any wet straw or bedding to prevent bacterial and mold growth
• Hose down the flooring right after each use and allow it to dry
• Remove rubber mats and wash the trailer two to six times a year, depending on how often you use it

By taking these steps to maintain your horse trailer flooring, you protect your horse from injury and your trailer from damage. If you can’t commit a lot of time to maintaining your trailer floors, consider a low-maintenance option like Polylast or WERM.
