3.5 ton van conversion

[Koolakaren]

How many of you travel a 16.1hh in one of the van conversions?
mine measures 7ft tall from floor to roof.
Do your horses like traveling in them?
trying to upload a pic but it keeps saying file too big!
My box is one of the ones that still looks like a DPD style van not one with a square back.
Hope this makes sense ?

The person who had my box before I bought it travelled a 16h in it - I can believe it but I'd say try and get one with barn doors instead of a top flap because that's the only place I'd worry about head room in mine.

I travel a 15.1 in mine, not sure I would want anything any bigger in it, not so much once in but due to the lower height on entry

I travelled a 16.2 quite happily in mine, the only issue was he needed to duck his head slightly when going in, there was plenty of room once he was in. I was quite worried when I bought him that he'd be too big and I used a scoop of feed in the first few weeks to encourage him to lower his head on entry. Horses go into stables with lowish doorways, I think you just need to be aware. I upgraded to a coach built 3.5 and he travelled well in that too.

My 16hh goes in my converted Renault Master and far prefers it to a trailer.
