COOLHORSE - YOUR SOURCE FOR THE COOLEST TACK & HOTTEST TRAILERS AVAILABLE!

Air Conditioners – Should you choose the option of an air conditioner, there are two choices: ducted and non-ducted. Ducted air conditioners work like the air conditioners in your home with a thermostat to regulate cooling. Non-ducted units release all of the cool air from the unit itself which is located on the ceiling. Click here for more information on installing AC's.

Axles - The horse trailer industry has generally gone to the rubber torsion axle over the last few years as compared to the spring axles. There are less moving parts on these axles which equal less maintenance, while providing a smoother ride. Click here for a simple way to calculate axle and tire requirements for trailers. Air ride axles are also available to deliver a smother ride to your cargo. These are self contained and are very similar to the air ride systems you see in the over the road semi trucks and trailers. They usually include their own air compressor system to maintain air pressure of 80-110 lbs in the air bags between the trailers frame and axles. You can expect to pay between $5,500 - $7,500 on most systems, depending upon the axles. Although it can be installed after market, installation during construction of the trailer tends to be more cost efficient.

Awnings - awnings are attached to the side of your trailer and allow protection from the sun and rain. Standard awnings, two-step awnings and electric awnings with a wind sensor are all options. These awnings vary greatly in size and price. Awnings are a great option to add after purchasing a trailer. Click to view more information.

Blanket Bars, swing out- Swing out blanket bars are an option that can be added to a trailer at the time of ordering or purchase. This is a great way to take up less space and allows more room in your tack rooms. It also allows your pads to breathe on both the top and bottom to dry out quicker than when they are stacked directly on each other or on your saddles. Click here for more information.

Pros: Easier to keep pads organized, clean, and they dry much quicker.

Cons: When adding the swing out blanket bars to rear tack doors, you can sometimes run into problems on space between your door and saddle racks. Three or four bulky pads on your rack combined with larger types of saddles (16” team ropers, ranch saddles, cutting saddles, etc..) can sometimes make your rear tack door difficult to shut.

Bunk Beds – Bunk beds are a great option when you are trying to sleep several children. A standard bunk bed is 30 inches wide and 72 inches long. While these dimensions are adequate for most children, a large child or adult might find these sleeping arrangements a bit ‘tight’. Fold down bunks are an option, as well, however support walls are required for such bunks, which limits the layouts that can be used.

Carbon Monoxide Detector – Your CO detector is designed to protect you from carbon monoxide poisoning. Carbon Monoxide is a by-product of generators, cars and trucks.

Central Vacuum – Central vacuums are an option offered by Outlaw Conversions. At the present time the product is a Dirt Devil. The vacuum comes with a 22 foot hose and seven attachments.

Chairs – Outlaw offers several different options for chairs. The amount of floor space in the lq largely determines what type of chair can be placed there. Styles include: swivel chair, box chair w/ ottoman, recliner and euro chair w/ ottoman. Prices differ according to type of chair and upholstery used.

Closets - Everyone wants LOTS of closet space in their trailer. Closet space is dictated by how many other options are included in an interior. For example, a large shower or vanity can take up wall space that might normally be used for closets. On a custom order it is possible to design your own closet with drawers, rods or adjustable shelves.

Cook Tops – We offer three different types of cook tops: two-burner, three-burner and a three-burner with oven. The two-burner cook top is the most popular, because it takes up the least amount of space, however, all are easy to use. Lighting the two-burner cook top requires a match or lighter. The three-burner cook tops are self lighting with piezo knob to ignite gas quickly. (back to top)

Dinettes – Dinettes are a great option for seating several people at a table. Dinettes can be built as small as 60 inches total length or as large as 84 inches total length. The width can also be customized to meet each customer’s needs. Dinettes do fold down to make a bed.

DVD/VCR Players – Entertainment equipment such as a DVD or VCR player can be found in most LQ trailers. While VCRs are becoming more and more obsolete, they are still an option. Many people opt for a VCR/DVD combo which allows you to utilize both systems. These units are wired directly to your television.

Exterior Barbecue Grills – Grills are available in side mount or slide out styles. Side mount grills simply attach to small brackets on the side of your trailer and hook in to the LP connection. They are easily stored in a manger and can be added after the sale. Slide out grills require a little more planning. Stored in a compartment that is built into the shell of the trailer, a slide out grill pulls out of its compartment for grilling and then slides back in after use. Because it is part of the shell, a slide out grill has to be built when the trailer is built and cannot be added after the sale. (back to top)

Fire Extinguisher – Meeting safety standards, all LQ trailers are equipped with a fire extinguisher.

Fresh Water Holding Tanks – Having fresh water in your LQ is important. Fresh tanks supply the sinks, toilet and shower with water. The amount of fresh water storage that is available in a trailer is determined by the amount of space to place the tanks. Thirty, 40 and 60 gallon tanks are available. However, when space allows it is possible to place more than one tank in the lq.

Furnaces – To heat your LQ, you have two different options: single direct discharge and a ducted unit. Units are located at floor level and are both LP gas operated. (back to top)

Generators – Most LQ trailers come with built in generators. These generators are predominantly Onan and come with a remote start and a self- contained fuel tank and fuel lines. The size of the fuel tank can vary depending on the space available for its placement. For those trailers that do not have a built in generator a portable option is available. These units are gas only and require a manual start. Click here for more generator information.

Gray and Black Holding Tanks – All trailers that are RVIA are equipped with a gray holding tank. If a toilet is in the trailer then a black tank is also required. These tanks hold the waste water from the sinks, shower and toilet. Waste tanks are generally 23 to 27 gallons in an Outlaw Conversion and 15 to 19 gallons in a Trails West. An upgrade option is to add auto dumps which makes dumping your tanks a little less messy. (back to top)

Hay Racks - With the needs of large amounts of storage required when hauling horses, hay racks have become a very popular option on most horse trailers these days. As the name implies, the primary use is for hauling hay down the road but is not limited to only hay. Other uses include water caddy placement, bucket storage, feed storage, bicycle transport, luggage racks, wood shaving bag storage, and generator placement to name a few. There is normally 3”-4” of clearance from roof to bottom of hay rack so pop up vents on roofs are not blocked. Air does still flow between bottom of hay rack and top of roof. Click here for more information.

Heat Strip - A heat strip is located on a non-ducted air conditioner unit. Although is acts as heat 'deterrent' it is not adequate to actually heat a trailer. Some other type of heat will be necessary. (back to top)

Load Lights, Halogen - Helps to increase visibility all around trailers, including sides, back, mangers, ramps, & under the nose. They run off your house 12 volt battery or tie into your existing trailer lights which will allow them to run off your vehicles battery. In most cases, independent toggle switches are mounted on the trailer to turn light off and on. Normally mounts on the roof cap or sides of trailer. Click here for more information.

LQ Flooring - Vinyl flooring is standard in interiors done by Outlaw Conversions. Upgraded floors are hardwood and tile. Vinyl flooring is the most durable of the three. Hardwood flooring is beautiful but can show scuffs. Many people are interested in tile flooring because it is such a practical option in a home, however, there is a possibility of tile cracking when installed in a trailer due to movement and flex of the trailer. Trails West also offers a laminate flooring.

LQ Lighting - The main light source in an LQ is the lighting in the ceiling. This can be standard lighting, which are individual lights that are normally operated at the light itself, or indirect lighting, which is sometimes referred to as recessed lighting and is operated from a wall switch. Other lighting in a trailer may be decorative sconces, reading lights, vanity lights, courtesy lights (located at floor level to allow limited light at night), automatic closet lights, and track lighting. All light sources operate on 12v. (back to top)

Mattresses – All of our new living quarter trailers come with a mattress. This mattress is standard and is comfortable for most people. For customers with back problems a Days End mattress provides extra support and comfort. The Days End mattress, a therapeutic memory foam mattress, is an upgrade but most people find it well worth the money. All mattress come in full, queen, king and custom fit.

Microwave/Convection Ovens – While most trailer interiors today have some type of microwave oven, many will have a microwave/convection. This oven will allow you to both microwave and bake. How easy…pop popcorn and bake a cake all in the same oven!

Power Vents/ Fantastic Fans – Power vents are typically located in the bathroom area of the LQ. This vent allows for air circulation. A Fantastic Fan works in much the same manner as the power vent, however, it can be set on a thermostat to automatically raise and circulate air as the temperature in the room rises or lowers. The Fantastic Fan also has a rain sensor which tell the vent to close if it gets wet.

Propane Bottles & Uses – Liquid propane is contained in bottles located under the nose of your trailer. Propane from theses bottles is plumbed into the trailer to operate your refrigerator, furnace, hot water heater, cook top and in some cases your generator. These bottles come in 20 lbs., 30 lbs. and 40 lbs. and are equipped a regulator system and LP detector for safety.

Propane Gas Leak Detector – Your propane detector is designed to warn you should there be a propane leak in your trailer. Items in your trailer that run off of propane will not function if this detector is turned off. (back to top)

Refrigerators – There are several different sizes of refrigerators. We offer a 2.0, 3.0, 6.0, 8.0, 10.0, 12.0. The 6.0, 8.0, 10.0 and 12.0 also have the option of an ice maker. All units are able to run on LP gas or electricity, with the exception on the 2.0 which runs on 12v only.

Safety Items - CO, LP and Smoke Detectors – All LQ trailers are equipped with adequate safety features for your protection.

Satellite Systems – Dish Network and DirecTV are both options when purchasing a satellite system for your living quarter. This makes adding your receiver to your home account easy. Normally people choose to purchase a stationary unit, but in-motion satellite systems are available.

Showers - There are several styles and sizes of RV showers. The size of the bathroom in the living quarter will largely determine the shower size. Because showers are raised approximately 6 inches off of the floor of the trailer, it is suggested that a skylight be placed above the shower. This gives several extra inches of head room in the shower.

Sinks - Standard sinks in an Outlaw Conversion are fiberglass, in both almond and white or stainless steel. A single bowl sink is 15" x 15". A double bowl standard sink is also available. Some upgraded sink options are small & large porcelain, copper, stone, hammered stainless. These sinks all vary in size. Stand sinks for Trails West trailers are a stainless galley sink and a small oval plastic sink in the bathroom. Trails West also offers the option of a hammered copper upgrade.

Slide Outs – Slide outs are a great option to add floor space to a trailer. Slide outs are built in 12 inches increments starting a 6ft. The arm mechanisms that operate the slide generally occupy 10 to 12 inches on each side, thus a 6ft slide out will take up close to 8 ft. of wall space. This can often be deceiving, as gaining floor space means that you will lose space on your wall.

Smoke Detector – Your trailer is equipped with a smoke detector. This unit functions like your unit at home.

Sofas - Westin, J Lounge, U Lounge are all Sofa styles. While all have a bit different look and vary in price, each style is a sleeper sofa folding out to make an approximately twin width bed.

Steps - Steps are an option that can be added to different locations on your trailer. They are constructed of aluminum and are normally welded to the side of the trailer. The most common placement for a step is a living quarter trailer. It is common to put a fold up step at the escape door and inside the rear tack. This makes it very easy to get in and out of your trailer and tack room. The 7’6” wide trailer comes with running boards making it not necessary to use steps. Click here for more information.

Stereos – As in homes, stereos in living quarters can vary greatly. AM/FM radios with both cassette and CD players are available. Docking stations for MP3 players or Ipods are also options. For those who are serious about their radio an upgrade to Sirius Satellite radio is available. As always, brand name stereos are used based on availability. (back to top)

Televisions – Televisions for your living quarters come in a variety of sizes and styles. Standard flat front televisions, LCD wall mounted flat screens, LCD flat screens on arms and LCD flat screens folding down from the ceiling are all possibilities. Although quality brands are always used, the brands may vary based on availability.

Tires - Tire brand, rating, and capacities are tremendously important in the reliability of your trailer. 10 Ply and 14 Ply 16" radials are the most common but some larger trailers may require 16-20 ply tires and these normally are 17.5"-22.5" rims. Click here to view a simple way to calculate your trailer axle and tire capacities.

Toilets – Most LQ trailers will have a toilet. Several styles of toilets are available ranging from RV style regular toilets to porcelain toilets much like that in a home. Other options to consider adding to a toilet are a sprayer hose for easy cleaning and a riser.

Water Heaters – All of our LQ trailers are equipped with either a 6, 10 or 12 gallon water heater. The water heaters that we offer are gas/electric, which means they are LP units that start with electricity.

Water Pump – The water pump is a very important part of the trailer. Without the pump, the sinks, toilet, and shower will not work. If space is available, we often place more than one fresh water tank in a trailer. When this is the case, an additional water pump is needed. Most water pumps operate a 3.2 gpm, however upgrades are an option.

Window Screens - window screens are often added to the head side of the trailer to protect your horses eyes from rocks, bugs, and other debris with an assortment of different window screens we handle. Click here for more information. (back to top)
