Horse Trailer

 It took several weeks, but our new horse trailer is finally clean enough that I feel good about posting photos of it on here!  I spent many hours scrubbing the black streaks off of the outside and then polishing it with wax.  Here is a during photo to show how bad the streaks were. 
 
We also pulled out all of the mats in the horse area and took a power washer to it. 
 
All clean and shiny!  The passenger side.
The rear.
 
The driver's side, with awning extended.
 
This trailer has two doors on the back, one into a small tack area and one into the horse area.
 
A better view of the horse area (already dirty again from hauling a horse!).
 
 
The "camper" part of the trailer, also known as the dressing room, had some cabinets already installed when we bought it.  Here is a photo I took the day that we bought the trailer.
 
While we were trying to fix one of the connections on the outside of the trailer, we ended up having to move the cabinets on the inside and discovered some water damage.  The lower cabinets were not salvageable but we'll save the upper ones.
 
Behind the cabinets, once we removed the wall.  We will be doing some wiring work before replacing the lower cabinets.
 
It's pretty much a blank slate inside now!
 
The new hose connection and electrical connection (photos taken before washing and waxing!)
 
The only other thing we have fixed so far is this little dent in one of the fenders.  Here's a before photo.
 
During.  We had to remove the wheel, beat the metal back into shape, and then install a new marker light on the fender.
 
After.  Not quite as good as new, but once we replace the black trim it won't be very noticeable.  And all of the lights are now working!
