Couldn't believe how nice it looked outside. Did not see the intereor but it had two Air Conditioning units. Must be pampered horses. Anyway we were talking and wondered if that could be something that could be converted to a Toy Hauler. At first I thought it to be silly, but maybe not???

We though about the same thing when we purchased our last trailer (although we were looking at new.) Actually, it would be easy to do. Just remove the horse stalls, give it a REALLY good interior bath and you'd have an instant garage. Some of those horse trailers are really nice!

We past one on the road and my thoughts were how easy it would be to convert one of these horse toyhaulers to a toy toyhauler. The size made it more reasonable for boondocking & narrow back roads. I can guarantee you they are better built! rocmoc n AZ/Baja * This post was edited 07/17/10 12:31pm by rocmoc * jim87vette • View posts Arizona Senior Member Joined: 07/25/2008 View Profile Offline Posted: 07/17/10 01:19pm Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator I bet they are made a lot stronger then a typical TH(the floor portion)..I'm not certain of this its just my thought?I think it's a good idea if the price is right,and the openings are large enough? 08 GMC 3500 Dually Duramax 96 Chevy 2500 6.5 05 Yamaha Rhino 04 Gearbox 335FS 5er 14k wet OlderThanSand • View posts Tollhouse, Ca Senior Member Joined: 12/09/2007 View Profile Offline Posted: 07/17/10 01:46pm Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator I think it's a silly idea .. why would you want something sturdy and well built when you can have an RV? 2011 Ford F 150 FX4 SuperCrew 2006 22' Carson Titan 2009 Polaris RZR 2007 Honda TRX 250EX 1995 model dune crazed granddaughter nny12972 • View posts NY Senior Member Joined: 10/25/2006 View Profile Posted: 07/17/10 03:03pm Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Jim...pretty much the same for a 2-horse rig....same springs/axles....floor & floor cross members are heavier--walls are a bit taller than mine---but not by much! Best part of mine is it's just over a foot taller than the TV-cap---very little wind resistance....AND, the axles are further aft which tows WAY nicer (as long as the built-ins and load are balanced)...I don't use any WD or sway with mine---even with two bikes onboard.

I tried to talk DH into a gooseneck LQ horse trailer, that way I could go horse camping, and we could use it for the quads. Long story, but we now have the TH and a seperate horse trailer. The only problem might be if the horse trailer has a rear tack room, that could limit the handlebar width for loading. Some horse trailers have swing-out tack rooms, which could work. You would also want a ramp load. 2005 Chevy 3500 Diesel Dually 4x4 with Allison 2004 Rage'N '21 foot 2005 KFX 700 1997 Polaris Scrambler 400 2 stroke 2007 Polaris Scrambler 500 4x4 One great husband One fluffy dog Three crazy cats One spoiled horse This Topic Is Closed  |  Print Topic  |  Post New Topic  |  Oldest first Newest first  Page of 3   Next Open Roads Forum  >  Toy Haulers  > Modifying a Horse Trailer to a Toy Hauler (or am I nuts)
