From the structural perspective of the trailer, this model isn't any different in standard amenities compared to our non-living quarter models. It's built with the standard SafeTack swing out saddle compartment, Z-Frame technology for a strong and lightweight non-rusting chassis, Galvalite interior panels that are safer for horses, and the Safebump one-piece fiber composite mold roof system.

This model is NOT for you if you have your heart set on a traditional full living quarters design.

They have a kitchen, which includes an under the counter mounted refrigerator, cook top, sink, and microwave. There is also a comfortable seating area such as a sofa or dinette. Full living quarters are customizable for colors, walls, ceiling, cabinets and materials along with a host of other available amenities.

The Basics weekender small living quarters horse trailer model is designed for clients needing a simple solution for traveling.
The compact floor plan of this model keeps it lighter in weight, shorter wheelbase, less tongue weight, and much easier to maneuver than conventional longer LQ horse trailers.
Available in a four-foot short wall, the walls of the living quarter are bare metal, and the roof is a fiber composite finish with exposed beams, which is the same look as in the horse area. There aren't any paneling or color choices available for the interior walls, and it mirrors the Galvilite material that's in your horse area.

YES! Popular add-on options include:
In addition, many clients do not camp when it's really hot outside, or cold.Rather, most horse owners choose to camp in the milder spring and fall. For this reason, a roof air conditioner isn't a standard feature on the Basics. While it is an add-on option, we recommend a powered roof vent with rain sensor over the bed area instead. It is bi-directional, remote controlled, thermostat controlled, and it automatically closes when it starts to rain.
With the gooseneck nose windows open and the fan in operation, a cross breeze is created in the bed area to keep you nice and comfortable.
