You are just a fun good soul and I love the enthusiasm and appreciation and educational and fun mew material always...your honest fun and "loving all this stuff" rubs off on your viewers and you keep it simple enough to learn but complicated enough to grow..keep that Andrew..when you are 60..that zest and appreciation for life..you have got it..thanks for another sweet video..Now having survived Western and Southwestern there can just be too much..I thought with this there was a great mix of the Nature look with the Western look and not toooo much..really nice..thanks..always leave with a smile! Have a blessed Sunday.
Lol, as a horse person I definitely got a kick out of your explanation of the horse stalls. The front stallion stall is indeed intended for stallions, with the full stud panel, the other stalls are for mares or geldings (castrated males). The stallion stall is not usually any larger in size, but the full panel door keeps them from seeing the other horses and also keeps them from reaching over and biting, kicking under the panel or rearing up and getting stuck on the panels. As a trainer that has hauled many unruly horses or inexperienced horses that move around a lot or throw fits, I personally love the stud panels on all the dividers, regardless of the horse's gender, because it keeps them all safer. Believe it or not, horses are very flexible and its relatively common for them to try and turn around and get hung up on partial dividers, and they can also end up catching the legs of the horse next to them and cause serious injury if they are flailing around or if the fall down they can get stuck under a partial divider.
For the love of god almighty.. please have a horse person help you out when it comes to horse trailers... good video.. but we can be particular about our rigs.
When do we get the chance to see the interior of a luxury horse trailer? never, but thanks to Andrew for showing us this trailer. Those horses are well taken care of, I'm sure. I've seen central vac w/dust pan on Grand Design 5th wheel, usually located on the lowest step of stairs. I'm sure other luxury RVs have this option.
Trust from a person that used to go around with family to horse shows for my sister having a luxury living quarters horse trailer well first of all it makes you the coolest person at the horse show but most importantly there’s nothing worse than trying to sleep with no AC no toilet no shower sweating All night LOL
I'm with ya. I think I'd rather have something like a 2+1, or 2 box stalls with options of turning them into 4 head-to-head straight load. But I'm sure this horse person got what s/he wanted.
I dont know if you know but every Semi now days shares the same engines and parts like cummins , bendix , dana ,eaton fuller and alison so idk if you know shaker is a peterbilt or kw now !
So what? About the same cost as a new pusher and this unit is far more functional. Material quality is on par with Marathon/Newell which are $2m coaches.
Wow!!! I better not let my wife see this 🤣. Not a big fan of Freightliner.. Imagine if it was a decked out Peterbilt 389 instead 👍Newmar uses that vacuum setup. Great content as always Andrew.
The truck is not a full semi truck. It is NOT a class 8 chassis. It is what is referred to as a Vacational chassis and only a single axle at that. This is a good example of just enough information to be dangerous.
Ya I remember when dodge ratted there 3500 dually trucks to tow 30 000lbs and my old boss bought one had a goose neck hooked to it with a water tank and chemical toats for spraying with a total loaded weight trailer water chemical of 26 000lbs and that whimpy dodge junk Cummins was foot held to the floor just to maintain highway speed and had to stop every 30 minutes to let the truck idle and cool down hood up on the side of the highway. Yet get home turn the tv on at the end of the day and there's a stupid dodge commercial bragging about a 30 000lbs towing capacity and the bosses brand new dually 6.7 junk dodge couldn't handle 26 000lbs. This little freight liner is definitely maxed out specially when loaded with horse's.
Need that truck to pull it, that is a lot ow weight, and loaded wityh horses in every stall...would be very necessary. Thanks for showing us. Love 4 Star trailers.
I have seen the dust-feature on some motorhomes, at least, shown by National Indoor RV Centers. There is a 4 episode video series Rving 101, in the first episode, some of the coaches shown, has got those features in them. Also most of those I have seen walkthroughs on, from same channel, has that very same feature
Might be cheaper to build something similar as a toy hauler actually. I worked at 4* for several years, as a machinist and a material Handler. If I'm not mistaken it wouldn't be as high as one might think.
If the main living quarters are elevated above the base of the trailer, what's under them? Well designed trailers/RVs/etc use every available inch, so I was just wondering. Water/waste tanks, perhaps?
All they need to do,is find a money winning cowboy,that has a cowgirl girlfriend that likes to travel with him..She will take one look at it and say buy it...
Regarding the toe kick vacuum slot for sweeping dirt... I moved our dirt devil from under the sink to a basement bay and added the toe kick slot to our class A Tourmaster. My wife loves it.
I gotta agree, that's the nicest horse trailer I've ever seen as well, even the tractor looks pretty nice, even if it is a freightshaker. More importantly, when you first walked inside the building. Was that a green "convertible" challenger? Only saw it for a second, but looked very nice. Great vid Andrew and as always stay safe and give Sadie some love for me.
Yes it was a challenger convertible and it was done by Drop top Customs in High Springs, FL. They do custom convertible's on challengers and ferrari's. As you know you can't get a challenger as a convertible but if you take yours to them they will convert it into one. I'm not sure if they are still in business. You would have to call them and check and see if they are or not. Good luck and hope that you get your car done, they do great work.
Damn. Be sweet to have. The mpg of that truck I would ditch that mini rig for a full-size flat top western star, Pete, KW or freightliner. Similar mpg, better power out put and better suspension. Plus you’d need a cdl to pull that so might as well have a real rig
The first stall is a stud divider and if you wanted to put hay or chairs in there they won't roll under the horses and you can also just put any horse in any stall cause no one ever just always hauls a stud a mares
I was looking at horse trailers last month and I saw this trailer on the trailer selling app and I was like showin all my friends so that we can get 500,000 before it sold lol
When I pack into the back country with my horses and mules, pack out my bloody old elk. That big thing would get stuck, probably just leave it there........
Nothing epic about a 400hp Freightliner. We pull with a 565hp Cummins X15 in out 2020 Peterbilt w/ 168in sleeper. Featherlite makes larger 53 foot, 4 bay horse trailer AND a 33 foot apartment.
your stallion or stud stall is all the way with no window so he does not know the mares are there cause if he could see them he would go crazy a hurt himself trying to get to the mares to breed them
"Alright folks, the moment ylu've been waiting for"......Yes, 6 minutes of listening to waffle and watching someone walking around doing something akin to the 'toilet dance' to be exact.
Not even close I know of 2 that are in the neighbourhood of $1.5 million for the trailer alone think nascar hauler but with luxury living quarters and room for 8 horses both owned by professional wagon racers
RVing with Andrew Steele not really other than they are owned by professional chuck wagon racers up here in Canada and were custom ordered from featherlite
Are you a salesmen? Cause that was kind of a bad review for potential buyers, especially us in the horse world you barely showed the horse quarters. Don’t mean to be rude just talk more about specs and info then wallpaper and toilet seats
Not the right chap, methinks, to promote a Horse Trailer. Too much that he does not understand/appreciate. None the less, an exceptionally nice trailer, even if the décor is NOT my cup of tea !
