Title: New Dog Trailer (ATTN: Matt & Richard) Post by: Texas_Cur on January 26, 2010, 08:35:56 pm Here is the trailer that my brother (Cull Buck) and I have been working on for the last couple of weeks. It has 4 dog boxes, the front two are 38x24x25 and the back two are 38x22x25. All 4 boxes have a light mounted to the ceiling with all the wires run through PVC pipe. It has a hog box that is 78x27x25. There are 4 flood lights mounted, 1 on each fender, 1 shining on the 4wheeler deck, and 1 shining on the hog box. We mounted a 50 gallon water tank that is piped to a faucet mounted to the control box on the tongue.

You may have done so already, but get you a battery isolator and change your trailer light connector over to an RV style plug that way you can charge that 12v battery when your tow vehicle engine is running. Did that with mine, and have never had to charge the battery. What's that in the second pic? Almost looks like a shower head or something?

We already had running water, and it was easy to make. Don't tell me you haven't wanted to wash off after a hog hunt.

Don't tell me you haven't wanted to wash off after a hog hunt. I like it! My wife already makes fun of my rig...said all it needs is pots and pans hanging down the sides and it will look like a true gypsy wagon. I put a shower head on there, and she might make me start parking it down the road!! :) I have a neat little addition to mine being blasted and painted right now. I'll have to post a pic in a couple days.
