[@donaldtubbs2659]

Guys I seen a lot Rv frame flex and I hope things work out. It discourages me buying a 5th wheel

[@PavingNewPaths]

It's definitely not the time to be buying fifth wheels from most manufacturers! Most are having frame failure problems!

[@davidcline9547]

Horse trailers do make RVs, and they are normally toy haulers. Bison are on the lower end. Sundowner are a top end one, Featherlite are nice too. Some Exiss are good and some are cheap made like the Bison.

[@PavingNewPaths]

It's so crazy to us that we learned from viewers that Bison is not at the top end. It feels leaps and bounds above the quality you get with RV manufacturers for fifth wheels! For us, it feels like luxury compared to our RV!

[@davidcline9547]

@PavingNewPaths any horse trailer is better than the rvs!! We have a middle of the road horse trailer and it's way better than any of the toy haulers we have had. Our horse trailer is a 02 and it's in great shape!

I have a 1999 Sundowner Sunlight 725 3 horse slant load. It has a rear tack, mid tack, slide out with jacknife sofa and dinette. It was $125,000 new. It has torsion suspension and tows easily. No chance of the frame coming apart. It is 44 feet long so tight corners can be interesting.

If the horse trailer manufacturers started building rv’s and toy haulers we could say goodbye to the typical rv manufacturers that continue to sell us junk. The quality of those aluminum horse trailers are superior. After 20 years, those trailers are still as good as new. Pay attention rv manufacturers!

That already exists it's called AIRSTREAM, all aluminum and built solid, but most people won't even consider them due to the price. You get what you pay for folks.

[@PavingNewPaths]

You are right! Nearly every manufacturer would go out of business immediately!

Find a new trailer like this but shorter and re do the horse part and no more worries about the frame break.i was camping at a Koa in Willits California and a couple had bought a horse trailer like that new a put a grand front room next to the door where the bathroom is ant the most rear of the trailer was a very nice bed room . The grand kids and family slept over the pin box .and the rest of the family slept in the make shift bedding . They were tired of the rv breakage and had no more problems. I had the pleasure of the ture it was an awesome trailer. I couldn't talk my wife into doing that. The nice thing is the low roof line .tows alot better in the wind and you don't have to worry about the trees as much . I saw this trailer in 1999. Awesome video Denis from Santa Rosa CA.

People who own horses and travel with them, treat their horses like family members. There is no way they would put those horses in a trailer built to RV industry standards.

We had only two horses at the time, but they were comfy and rested after driving for 4-5 hrs a day, then unload to eat and stretch. We went to so many beautiful spots and rode for hours over a 30 day period in 2015. The hard part was getting enough space to unload every day for stretching.

Ideally, I think it's just for three horses so that fourth stall without feeding trough is just for access to the rear from the camper. That wouldn't be fair to the fourth horse now would it? No hay? 48' long...wow. That right there could be the ultimate toy hauler just taking out the horse dividers. Say for motorcycles/dirt bikes? Or in your case a super nice kids area with bunks and play room? May need a second A/C for back there. But that thing is built like they should be, "all" of them, not just horse trailers with living quarters. I'm sure it'll be sold fast. In excellent condition. Thanks for sharing partner!

[@badgerpa9]

It is setup for the horse in the stud stall or stuff stall to use a hay bag. You can put a feeder on the escape door also. If you look at the video the stall close to the front has a panel that hangs lower to keep stuff from sliding out of the stall, but is really for a stud or stallion to ride and have more separation. Keep the stud from kicking the second horse. You would want one that has a rear opening not the rear tack room for hauling other toys. They sell them without the horse stalls and a rear ramp door for toys.

[@PavingNewPaths]

@badgerpa9 Thank you for helping to answer some of these comments! You are obviously well versed in horse trailers and how they are to be used! Wasn't there a second a/c in the back? Kevin isn't home for me to ask, but I feel like when we went in there something was running pretty loud and he touched something on the bathroom wall to turn it off. Perhaps it was just the fans, though!

This would be the best toyhauler for things like motorcycles, e-bikes, dirt bikes, kayaks, etc!

[@badgerpa9]

@@PavingNewPaths You can get an AC for the horse area installed but it would be ahead of the hay pod on the roof, I did not see one but could have missed it. Usually the horse area uses the roof vents, drop windows and the fans mounted by ceiling. Some campgrounds will frown on a horse trailer even if it has never hauled horses and only toys. You are not likely to have frame failure on a horse trailer, except rust in the rust belt.

[@MG-vo7yn]

i could be completely wrong here, but i do have 10+ years experience with horses. i contemplated getting a horse trailer at one time (no rv combo, just a trailer). i was trying to get an idea of the cost and of what i would need to tow it (how much truck did i need, for example). the people i spoke to kept emphasizing that a horse trailer involves towing a LIVE LOAD. for example, my horse was 17 hands tall (one hand is 4 inches, and horses are measured from the withers [like the shoulder], so the head can be way, way higher than that measurement). i had a big horse. he probably weighed about 1500 lbs. during towing, if he wanted to move around (shift his weight to the front, back or side), he was free to do so. whenever he moved in the trailer, that was 1500 lbs shifting inside the trailer. i believe that is what they meant by "LIVE LOAD". i believe it is for this reason that this rv/horse trailer that you two toured in this video is SO STURDY. i believe it has to be in order to endure 4x 1500 LIVE ANIMALS moving around as you're towing them down the road. i wonder if the solution for the rv industry will be to take a good hard look at the horse trailer industry.....?

[@PavingNewPaths]

That very well could be what they mean by live load. I'll have to ask Kevin when he gets home! Whatever the reason, these trailers run circles around RV builds in terms of sturdiness! The RV industry should definitely take lots of notes and rewrite their playbook around how horse trailers are built! I just imagine an RV with the back tack room, but instead that could be your garage space and a place for your grill, bikes or kayaks! It would be such an awesome room for any RV'er to have!

[@MG-vo7yn]

@@PavingNewPaths after i wrote that, it occurred to me that a horse trailer has to handle more than just a horse (or cow) shifting weight. if my big 'ol horse decided he wanted to BUCK in that trailer, and someone was hauling him on the highway, that trailer had to STAY IN ONE PIECE through literally WHATEVER my 1500 lb horse decided to do. so, yes, horse trailers should be MUCH, MUCH, MUCH more sturdy than a traditional RV. but i still believe that the rv industry can learn from the horse trailer industry. growing evidence seems to suggest that at least some in the rv industry are building to the lowest possible "standard" - and even failing to meet that low standard. it would be great if your channel were the catalyst to begin a whole new avenue of rv style and construction!! :D

[@twflowers]

There are a lot of campgrounds here in the south east that will not allow Horse/RV units in. It's very nice though

[@andrewr2650]

I have one of these units and haven't run into that issue. You cant bring horse's into most campgrounds but the way ours is setup we also haul our side by side in it. I do call first and let them know what trailer I'm bringing and confirm it will be empty and washed out. One other big challenge taking these into regular campgrounds can be the positioning of the trailer wheels which are much further back that on a bumper pull or even a 5th wheel. This means a 48' horse camper cuts corners way worse than a 48' toy hauler.

[@livesoutdoors1708]

Yes you MUST CALL FIRST and state it is an Rv that “sometimes” hauls horses.

[@PavingNewPaths]

That's unfortunate considering just how nice they really are! Especially if you disclosed that there were no horses camping with you, we see no reason why they shouldn't allow these trailers!

[@DLVRYMN]

Two axles aren't enough. Dare i say use 4. It's all about weight distribution and 4 axles would have to help and how about airride! Why hasn't any Manufacturer ever offered it???

[@PavingNewPaths]

4 axles would be a site to see!

Beautiful Rig! 🎉

We agree!

The kids and Buddy have an outdoor playroom!!

It would be such a fun conversion if the bathroom wasn't in the center!

That thing is sweet. We have a bunch of horse farms by us and I see these types of trailers frequently. I always wondered what those looked like on the inside. That pin weight is crazy. You're probably close to 550/5500 territory when loaded.

[@PavingNewPaths]

I know from the video we made with our RV maxed out we can overload the truck with only 4300Lbs of pin weight! The actual class 4, F450 is rated at 16,500lbs so it could handle it, but to have more room for error the F550 or 5500 class would be the best at 19K GVWR!

[@gebertg]

​@@PavingNewPaths I actually considered ordering a RAM 5500 Limited eventhough it would be complete overkill for my needs. Nothing wrong with dreaming. You have the extra cost for the upfit on the back, but It's shocking how comparably priced they are to a 3500 for so much extra capacity.

[@80Pally]

What I could have done with this set up when I was growing up! Dang, that’s nice! Thank you for the tour! ❤

[@PavingNewPaths]

Thanks for watching! It was a fun video to make!

Beautiful trailer. I have a 2003 Hart 3 horse. Its a tiny home compared to that on, just a 25' box with a 10' short wall, not family friendly, lol. But we do have 4 dogs with us, lol. Clean out the back and leave the walk thru door open for the dogs. I bought it used in 2006, they said it was $65,000 new. I love my Hart, still in great shape.

[@PavingNewPaths]

That's awesome that you have something that works well for you and your pups! Buddy would be in hog heaven if he had an entire room to himself! Lucky dogs!

[@joegreen1759]

I wonder if anyone has ever converted a horse trailer like the one you are showing into a full size toy hauler.

[@badgerpa9]

You can buy them without the horse stalls and a rear ramp door for the toys. There are hundreds of them in the desert in California on a weekend hauling toys.

[@PavingNewPaths]

We also wonder that! It would be awesome to see one that has been coverted!

[@PavingNewPaths]

That's awesome!

[@legleg752]

i dunno how much these cost but here in australia a 5th wheel rv can easily be close to 100k AUD. tbh id rather buy one of these and pay the extra to swap out the horse space for extrea living area/toy hauler area and it would prob not cost a huge amount different. dont see too many 5th wheels here, prob cos our outback highways are total crap and it beats most rvs to peices after a few trips. this looks pretty sturdy and id be interested to see how one hold up over here compared to bumper pull caravans and 5th wheelers

[@PavingNewPaths]

It would be interesting to see one of these converted and then put it to the test as an RV. We are with you that these trailers look and feel like they'd hold up so much better than the current RV's on the market.

[@RogueBohemian]

There's a horse trailer company that builds toy haulers for RVers. I've seen walk around videos. I don't recall the name of the company.

[@PavingNewPaths]

Oh wow! Googling that now!

Kevin, my man talk to be honest Brooklyn bedding I’m getting ready to go in for next surgery I’m having two vertebrae cut and moved off my spinal cord in my neck and then pinned and plated. How good would the bed be for someone that is having a surgery on their back neck if you can tell me? I know no matter what it’s gonna be painful but I don’t want to waste the money

[@PavingNewPaths]

Oh goodness! We will be praying for your complete and speedy recovery. The great thing about Brooklyn Bedding is that there are so many options to choose from. We absolutely love our mattress. Before we ever partnered with them, we had already purchased and spoken about loving our mattress more than any other mattress we've ever owned in videos! The great thing they've developed now is a quiz that you can take that will help you determine which mattress will be best for your sleep style. Additionally, they are available to chat with online, so you could explain about your surgery if you felt you needed more guidance than the quiz results give you. Please let us know if you have any trouble with the quiz or need help linking up with their sales support! Here is the link for the quiz: custom.brooklynbedding.com/6463eb5905ef5 You definitely don't want to waste your money on such an important purchase that will definitely aid in your recovery!

You guys! I am loving these videos from the farm! I spend everyday, all day in an office on a computer and on the phone. This is all so interesting to me. If I was super mechanically inclined, I would totally change careers and do something like this! 😂 Anything out in nature with animals… I’m so there! Keep doing these videos 🙏🏼🙏🏼. They’re great! 😊

[@PavingNewPaths]

We are so glad to hear you like our new videos! I'm with you, Kevin comes home and shows me clips and I think, "Wow your new job is so cool!" When you aren't used to seeing this type of content, it is super interesting to watch! I told him I just want to come shadow him for a few weeks so I can truly get a sense of how his days on the ranch go!

[@kristenmccreary8692]

Exactly! I have never had the opportunity to visit a farm, so I find it all super interesting! Especially anything having to do with the animals!

[@debyarger3084]

If I were a full-time RV'er. I would buy this and take out the gates for the horses and make a bedroom for the kids and the rest of the area a family room!

[@PavingNewPaths]

The only thing that may be inconvenient about this floorplan if you made the conversion is that if someone was in the restroom, you'd have no access from inside to get from room to room.

[@meececa]

I’m thinking of a sleeper car on a train. Narrow hallway down the door side with “berths” as bedrooms. Or racks?

[@scottr3141]

Remember though,it takes one heck of a truck, and 48ft. may limit you as to where you could camp.

[@talascam]

We bred Paint horses for over 30 years. We had four horse trailers with living quarters in them and loved to camp in them. We had a big ramp on the back and loaded our bikes and could have taken the the golf cart in the back had we wanted to. It was awesome and we NEVER had frame issues with any of them. When we got out of horses, we were so disappointed with the Rv trailers, we will be going back to a horse trailer with living quarters.

[@PavingNewPaths]

Wow, four horse trailers! That sounds amazing! I can imagine your disappointment in going from such great horse trailers to an RV and do not blame you one bit for going back to a horse trailer! The peace of mind of knowing everything isn't going to break every time you move it is worth its weight in gold!

[@pistolcutler4874]

I love camping with my horse trailer. It's not the same exact set up because they don't consider mine living quarters because there's no kitchen bathroom any of that running water. They consider it a comfort package. It's got a sleeping area with an air conditioner. /heater, and then there's a cooler in the horse area. We scrape any poop out if we took the horses lay down tarps , and then the kid sleep back there.

[@PavingNewPaths]

That's a great way to camp! We like your creativity, and you are making memories your kids will never forget!

[@stanmarion550]

I'm impressed that the living quarters are as big as they are, and 4 horses with all their tack on a dual axle trailer.

[@PavingNewPaths]

It's a massive trailer at 48-feet!
