Today I'm working on converting an old horse trailer that has a divider and half doors to something that will work as a horse trailer BUT also, a trailer that I can fit a water tank in as well. In the video I'll fabricate a new door, remove the old divider, do a little rough upholstery, replace the lights and wiring, and a little bit of this that and the other ;)
Thanks for watching and let me know if you have any questions you might have!

Looks great! However, I think the middle divider should still be there (at least able to install/remove as needed) as it provides side support for the animal(s) while being trailered.

@MaryBrownForFreedom Год назад

Adhesive lined heat shrink is great stuff. I had a connection sit under water all spring and no damage. Normal heat shrink can seep water...

@homesteadonomics Год назад

Yes, I’d imagine those would definitely be the best. I’ll look into them for when I eventually add backup lights on this. Thanks Mary!

@AlternativeHomesteading Год назад

You did a wonderful job renovating that horse trailer. Love it!

@homesteadonomics Год назад

@traveler7249 Год назад

Recommendation; Always run TWO wires to EACH light. Grounding to the Body will result in far more issues. The expense of an extra wire is far less than even the time to troubleshoot. Multiple metal types, rust, corrosion, vibration, etc. all contribute to poor/no grounding. Nearly all trouble with lights is due to grounding to the "body" etc. -

@homesteadonomics Год назад

Yes, that is good advice. I knew the biggest thing to check with trailer lights is the ground. But I hadn’t considered a separate wire. 😊👍

@rob8823 Год назад

Other side of the coin on this.. locktite and some silicone over a clean ground connection.. only half the future wire tracing issues...

@traveler7249 Год назад

@@rob8823 It is much easier to test for continuity of a wire than to troubleshoot Whish body/frame panel has lost connection with the adjacent. -- Sometimes the light has a good connection but the part is not well connected to the next part. There may be several parts in the line before it connects back to the ground. - each connection can fail. -- a bad connection is easily remedied by just running an additional wire. One wired is already run and the second wire takes little space. -- Saving a few pennies is a false economy when standing on the side of a road troubleshooting an intermittent connection.

@andrewjones-productions Год назад

Ideally, you should reinstall the centre divider. An animal, especially a horse, needs to be secured whilst in transit otherwise you may get to the end of your journey to find that the horse has a broken leg. This is why livestock trailers such as an Ifor Williams Trailers one has gates/dividers inside to prevent unnecessary movement of sheep, pigs or cattle or a trailer is filled enough of the animals that they are unable to slide around (not overcrowding however). All of these methods are intended to protect an animal whilst in transit.

@ruabadkitty Год назад

I like the diamond plate. It was the first thing I noticed that I thought made the trailer stand out.

@homesteadonomics Год назад

@@homesteadonomics Ah yes, less than ideal angles. I suspect that your discarded clips are far fewer than “the average Joe.” Pun intended. I’m always happy to learn from your design and implementation methods as well as your ability to make stuff from more or less found items. Yeah found in the store counts when you bought knowing what you were going to turn them into in form and function. When I was a kid, all of of the adults had lived during the Great Depression. Their ingenuity and motto to use it up and wear it out produced some strange looking but functioning creations. Your creations aren’t strange looking but are very creative and fully functioning while using the least resistance path to their existence. The bonus being that they look great too!

@livesoutdoors1708 Год назад

Great job! Watch those bearings when you haul. Touch them every time you stop. I’ve had that type lose grease and fuse and that’s a disaster especially if your welder is at home.😢

@homesteadonomics Год назад

Yes, agreed! That is a concern of mine as well. Especially hauling the horse…. Would make being stranded extra interesting😬 But on that note…. Checking the wheel hubs for heat is something I do whenever we take the travel trailer camping too.

@suzettecalleja3122 Год назад

Wonderful job. Looks brand new. I was wondering if the floor can take the weight of the water container considering that some of the wood had rot, but knowing you, you already thought of that. 😉

@homesteadonomics Год назад

It’s a great question…. Because the IBC tote will be around 2700lbs when full. From what i can see the crossmember steel frame work that the wood is mounted to is stout enough and closely space where the wood won’t have too much weight that isn’t dispersed pretty well. Hope that made sense🧐🤪

May God bless your days. What happened in the greenhouse? For a long time, we did not see what about cultivation in the greenhouse ‏Sunken Greenhouse‏

@homesteadonomics Год назад

Thank you and may God bless you as well! The sunken greenhouse is still there. But I do not use it as much as I had thought. Mostly for seed starts prior to the garden and also to being in some tomatoes and peppers from the main garden in buckets to keep a few things going through the winter. The biggest issue is that I did not account for as much space as I needed for upward growth. So the next video I’ll do on that wouldn’t be until the winter….assuming I’ve made the necessary changes🤞🤪

@ksfixitmangaming617 Год назад

As always you are amazing. Attention to detail is a given with any project you do. I think the diamond plate classes it up a lot . Only thing I would add is some of the DOT reflective chevron tape on the rear of the trailer. Will be looking forward to the next video. Be safe.

@homesteadonomics Год назад

Thank you! At first I was wanting to utilize something that would blend in a bit smoother….but now that the diamond plate is up, it’s definitely grown on me as well. Plus, it should keep the hi beams off for traffic behind me wheel driving at night😉

@rickbrockthedog8017 Год назад

Great refurbishment on the trailer. On trailer tires...I can recommend Goodyear Endurance. Not cheap but darn good and USA made. I have them on my travel trailer. Carlisle tires I've had before on my travel trailer and they were good but made overseas. My car hauler came with Goodride tires on it and I've not had a problem with them. But I do keep them inflated and inspect them regularly as their on the lower end of the trailer tire spectrum.

@catgynt9148 Год назад

Another insightful video, thanks for sharing this today. Thoughts for the wheel bearings, when you are sourcing the replacement parts, look for hubs that are equipped with grease fittings. Most often found on boat trailers for keeping water out of submersible hubs when unloading or loading boats from water. Useful in dry climates for flushing grit infused grease out of seals. When you removed the center post did you add a horizontal support above the door opening or is it sufficiently stiff. Wishing you and your family a blessed week filled with gentle seasonally appropriate weather and restful evenings together. Peace brother.

@homesteadonomics Год назад

Thanks! The zyrc fitting hubs I had not considered but was aware of them with not trailers. My plan is when we get the tires and I’ve got the wheels off, im going to inspect the bearing and track. And if there is no pitting and everything is shiny I’m going to just decrease them. I’ve heard some of the older ones, if still in good shape, are built a bit better than some of that replacement ones. But I guess I see in a week or so…haha As for the center post. The horizontal roof support is sufficiently still. I could do a pull-up on it with no flex. And it served mostly just a mounting point for the divider, and door latches, versus something structural. And may you and your family have a blessed week too!

@catgynt9148 Год назад

@@homesteadonomics Too true Joe, the older “Timkin” bearings are much better than a lot of the ones coming from Pacific rim countries. A friend’s dad used that style of hub on his landscaping trailer. His son now has his dad’s business and a 30+ year old trailer with original wheel bearings. Here in NE Ohio our roads are usually salty from November through spring rains. I managed to get 26 good years out of my Ranger until the frame became “crispy” and could not be safely lifted for service. Peace brother

@ShouldersMoondog549 Год назад

Looks really nice!! and useful too!! Make sure that the new tires are rated for "Trailer Use"

@wolfpreist Год назад

A) How'd I miss this when it first came out? Bad youtube. B) you might consider having a lip on the upper door to keep the lower door closed then add someway to lock the upper door. That way the trailer is secure. To me that's more if your out traveling and have to pull over somewhere or stop for the night. C) Of course you had the aluminum trim :P D) Trailer looks good.

This is the first video I've seen that comes very close to what i want to do to my horse trailer. My trailer rear doors are/were exactly like yours. I say were because i had a welder take my ramp off and turn it into a door. It was just way to heavy for me to lift. I want something more like what you made for the upper part of my doors. Thank you for the video!

@theidlehandsworkshop3884 10 месяцев назад

Pretty cool, I am in the middle of renovating a horse trailer we have that had been previously renovated by someone else and it was all wrong. We're tearing out the centre divider and turning it into a 3 slant load trailer mainly because I have a monster horse that we rescued and now that he's healthy and put on weight he no longer fits into his slot. We want the horses to be comfortable and don't need the tack room because everything just sits in the bed or cab of the truck normally in case we have to go help with a rescue or something. Many thanks for sharing and awesome for Marley and her mustang, the wife and I have two as well we're working with.

@Chris-yo4ks Год назад

I know this is just a small bumper pull trailer. One VERY NICE update I made to a friends 27ft 3 horse trailer was to add reverse lights to the trailer. I don't know how many times we arrived at a show when it was dark out. Adding a simple relay to the reverse & continuous power connectors made a nice addition to be able to see when you are backing up.

@homesteadonomics Год назад

You know why I’ve definitely been considering adding them. Almost ordered some when I was getting the wiring harness but opted not to at the time…..but now you’re making me want to get them😂

@Chris-yo4ks Год назад

@@homesteadonomics Just make sure that you have power to your trailer plug.....for some reason my 7 pin plug didn't have power....it was just a matter of hooking up the wire in the fuse box under the hood. on the trailer side, find the reverse wire in the distribution box. use the reverse wire as your switch leg, and then supply power to the lights through the relay, and run your wires back. The hardest part is finding a good place to hide/protect the wires to the back. I while you are running wire, pull an additional power wire.....this will allow you to hook up a 12v fan, and a wireless camera for inside the trailer.....or a reverse camera.

@MordecaiV Год назад

I would be mildly concerned about the lack of confinement. If the horse in the back can move several feet sideways, they are more likely to hit the sides harder. It also means there is room to fall down.

@livesoutdoors1708 Год назад

And how do you explain horses shipped in open stock trailers every day all over ranches?

@andrewjones-productions Год назад

@@livesoutdoors1708 You answered your own questions by stating horses. Multiple horses/animals act as buffers to one another. A singular animal needs support or have its space limited by the use of internal dividers/gates. It is not good practice to transport an animal without securing them. Especially a horse.

@christined.3728 19 дней назад

This is the best and cleanest horse trailer mod I've seen. I'm gutting 2 trailers to construct mobile bars out of, and I really like your idea for the rear door with the full swinging one. Makes loading larger objects, including kegerators and kegs easier than having to squeeze them past the divider.

@shadowmancer7040 Год назад

That tape must be amazing!

@homesteadonomics Год назад

It really is! It’s hard to think that just tape can be that strong but it’s used on fire engines, buses, and many more things where large sheeting is attached. In tests 3M shows it to actually be stronger than rivets in that it is flexible and doesn’t weaken like the rivets do.

@thomlindgren6253 Год назад

Really great project. The trailer seems to be much more useful now. The wide door is such a bonus for water hauling but I figure that if you need to get more hay and feed than you truck can carry this is also a great addition. Did you need to weld anything in to strengthen the door opening or was the upright yo remove not really a weight bearing piece. I’m sure that Marley will be fine learning to change tires and replace bearings. Any skill you have is a positive. Thanks for sharing and a little early but have a Fun and Safe 4th of July!

@homesteadonomics Год назад

Thank you! Yes that middle post was mostly just a point to hold the divider and have the half door latches attach to. Not anything structurally necessary. And I hope you have a great 4th too!

@jaystewart9947 Год назад

Great job sir. I’ve had a few livestock and horse trailers similar to this as well. I’m sure you verified the floor was sound as well? Seeing that wood from the back doors made me wonder. Also, feed bin areas can sure rust out through to the front or saddle/tack room. Great job making it multipurpose as well!

@homesteadonomics Год назад

Thank you! And yes the floor decking is solid in closely spaced steel angle members. The reason the plywood is so bad in the old doors and the upholstered section is that the wood was welded into the door and they never added drain holes. And the upoholsted section kind of has that same issue. With the water coming in along the wall and getting trapped within the vinyl fabric and the plywood.

I didn't see the trailer license plate or license plate light.? May be ok in AZ but don't think so / may get a ticket. Reflective red & white tape at the bottom of the ramp would be a great safety feature. Walmart has those strips. Excellent workmanship on refurbishing the trailer. I have an older 2 horse trailer that I bought in Tucson and the spare is a Costco tire. It was New ( former owner bought it ) and has never been on the trailer. After seeing this tire (the tread is peeling off ).. I have never seen that & I've had trailers for decades. Hope you get better quality at Costco.

@homesteadonomics Год назад

Oh it’s required for AZ too. But I didn’t have a bulb for the plate light. And for the reflectors I had removed a couple old ones when I painted it and just forgot to put some back on🤦‍♂️.

I don't know anything about horses, so this is just a genuine curiosity... Doesn't that divider piece help to keep the horse from moving side to side in transit?

@homesteadonomics Год назад

Yes, the divider definitely has its use. But most of the Mustang folks we’ve been talking to recommend taking the divider out with our mustang as they’ve found it more compatible with their mustangs. In training to trailer. So I opted for that and also to be able to fit a tank in there when needed.

In your rainwater harvesting video can you please go into detail about your total catchment capacity, usage, whether or not you ever get completely “full” during/after monsoon season, your rational regarding adding more capacity vs hauling, the real-world cost considerations of adding additional capacity vs hauling etc. Many other people - RU-vidrs and others - refer often to your early rainwater harvesting videos as the informational gold-standard for getting into this kind of thing.

I don’t mean to be, but that divider is there for a reason. It “swaddles” the horse while in transit. One wrong turn, or evasive maneuver, and you’ve got a horse with broken legs.
