Looking for ideas to develop a hot/cold water, propane, cook stove, heated living quarters in a horse trailer that is easy clean up for primitive camping. Pictures of what others have done, mistakes made, work that was redone after trials/errors are hoped for. We are looking for what works right down to the best components. Thank you.

Not from this forum. Yes, from other more active forums. Now in the mode of acquiring components and seeing how they will fit. We had some ideas and an initial plan. Was looking for some experienced based advice. Largely found "canned" answers. It has been my observation from where we ride those who have built their own campers camp/ride more than those who bought a completed living quarters. Those with completed living quarters, ones built by a trailer/RV company, seem to find its use to be too much prep/post work. Ours is being designed to be frost free, openly accessible components, higher quality heater both air and water at twice the cost of RV store components for ease of use, no frills of appearance only valued items. It is a place to clean, eat, sleep. Not live like a house on a campground, no satellite TV.

You will find a wealth of information if you are a member of Facebook. Ask to join the group "Horse Trailer Conversion". If you post a question, you will receive a lot of answers from people who've "been there, done that". Not a DIY'er, but I have gotten lots of great ideas just following the group. Worth joining Facebook.

For my hot water, I used one of the portable water heaters you use in the barns. I just plumbed it in-line with the water pump. I put the propane tank in the first stall, mounted the water heater on tne slant wall. It works great. Cost of the heater was around $120. new propane tank $40.
