Horsebox - Ideas on low cost alternative items of doing it up?

[WelshCobs]

I have just bought a 3.5t horsebox and I am....very excited at doing it up.

Has anyone got any ideas on where to buy things from? When you type horsebox in say google the prices are massive!!!.

I am sure there are non horse related items that I can buy to do it up

Does anyone have any cheap alternatives to doing up a horsebox regards living arena etc?

Cheers x

My friend has just finished her 4th 7.5 tonne lorry conversion.
She sources most parts from ebay and avoids caravan/horsebox places.
She got the windows online from a really good company. I think it really does pay to shop around as she found a massive difference in prices.
She also got new but written off caravans to steal bits out of and makes her own seat covers and cushions as they are exp to but new. Her lorrys look amazing but she is very handy and puts in a load of man hours to get them done
Good Luck

An option might be to find a Caravan scrap yard, one that maybe has been rolled etc. The living contents are exactly the same as the living of a horsebox, pumps cables etc. I reckon it would be worth a shot.

Not really got any ideas, I have kept mine very simple as there is not much space in Grooms area. All I would say is be careful what you add as weight is very important in 3.5t lorries and you may find adding things to your living area makes it go overweight once horse(s) loaded.
