How would you keep the rain out of there? I restore horse trailers into bars/ concessions and keeping water out of those trailers is difficult. Any homemade awning/windows made like this one will leak profusely! And the back door too. All that stuff needs to be metal fabricated with heavy weather stripping. I’m sure the owner of this trailer is a good guy. He did beautiful work. I just know these boogers really like to leak.
As you mentioned, they are horse trailers and are not designed to be weather tight. It will likely leak some in a downpour. That’s why it’s best to store them inside or at least covered.
That’s awesome! Thanks for the feedback! I usually use 15” gas struts. I think these were 65lb lifting capacity. Plenty of strength to keep the door open.
The low profile roof vent is here. amzn.to/3HCazVX The window trim I almost always refurbish the old trim with a cup brush on my angle grinder. However, new trim I get from www.horsetraileraccessorystore.com/ The diamond tread aluminum I get from metal supermarkets. They cut to size so you don’t have to buy a whole sheet. I hope that helps.
@@cheriejohnson9445 I don’t unfortunately. What I do is line up the hole with the valve stem and then push around the perimeter of the hubcap. It sort of wedges into place. Some parts might be tight and I use the palm of my hand to strike it to make it go in. I hope that helps! Shiny hubcaps transform a trailer!
@@carriagehousetrailersThank you for responding! It was very difficult to install them. They wouldn’t go on with just pushing them. Had to use a rubber mallet and I ended up making a few dents 😩
I was just showing this one to my husband since it's on FB.
Glad you like it!
Building one myself...love ur tips and designs
Thanks! Glad the vids are a help.
Looks great and looking forward to more how to video's
I’ve got the footage, just takes a bit to edit it all. I will definitely be getting it uploaded though.

Your videos are awesome and they're a big help as i am converting 1 myself, so thank you! What size struts are you using for the side windows?
That’s awesome! Thanks for the feedback! I usually use 15” gas struts. I think these were 65lb lifting capacity. Plenty of strength to keep the door open.
@Carriage House Trailers thank you for your response, it's a huge help!!
Hi where do you get your struts from ?

Can you do a video on the window trim you use and how it’s put in?
I’m going to be editing some more video. I’m almost positive I took footage of that.
What hinges did you use for the door ?
I used these. I liked the way they looked and the stainless really shines against the wood. amzn.to/4dEbpje Hope that helps!
Hello, would you share where you purchased the hubcaps?
@@cheriejohnson9445 here’s a link to the ones I use. Hope that helps! amzn.to/4cuiOj9
