New Horse Hauler

[Pullstart 70,400]

I’m heading today to pick up my new Horse Hauler!  I’ve opted for a 7x16x7’ vee nose.  The weight capacity, towing capacity of Eloise, and everything aligned to fit 6 tractors for shows if desired.  It’ll also fit the Triumph if we chose to haul that to a camp site or show.
 

The brand I’m getting comes outfitted with a full OSB interior.  Tail spoiler and ramp loading lights are standard too.

 

Time to customize!  I want to be able to wash it out if needed.  Has anyone ever done a roll on bed liner on OSB?  Thinking I could run it 6-10” up the walls, then plate the walls with either diamond plate aluminum or simple race car aluminum.  The race car sheets are in stock, diamond plate would be cool.  Next will have 4 rows of e-track on the floor, and a row on each wall too.

 

Pics coming soon!

Check youtube, I've seen some really cool enclosed trailer mods and i've seen them do an epoxy garage floor paint over the osb.

How does the “wash out” plan align with e-track?

I went cheap on mine, The ACE guys said to use porch paint. Hit holds up well. I just use a leaf blower to clean it out. (I did put glass sand in the paint but would leave it out or use less next time)

But you might have other plans.

I looked at epoxy, matting, bed liner etc. It got pricey pretty quick.

I don’t plan to back it into a lake, but it won’t be too bad to get around.

I’m gonna have to figure something out if I keep putting mine on my trailer, the cover I had ripped in a few places and all the flapping in the wind did minor damage to the paint, when I went to the big show. I had a bunch of straps holding it on too. AND leaked water during all the rain. Was better off not using it.

Generally covers don’t fare  on the road.  Boats and PWCs alike.  Sorry to hear man!

I didn’t get much of a cash deal like they said on the phone, but it’s mine!

Very nice setup  .

Nice looking trailer.  You'll be able to get an upper and lower level of round hoods in that one, doubles your capacity.

In all honesty, 6 tractors of any flavor and the weight of the trailer should make pulling with the new diesel pusher just right.  I’m ok with just right.

And let us not forget the optional outside upper storage on the roof... For lightweight items of course..!

This roof is a translucent fiberglass, it’s so bright inside!

Chrome diamond plate is hard to keep looking nice. Think truck tool box. Black would look nice.

I like the white, mine gets pretty warm in the sun.

Discovery?  As much as I paid, you’d think I’d have the VIN memorized!
