We all know that horse trailers are used for one thing only, and that is to transport horses! Until some creative and out of the box thinkers thought of using horse trailers as camp trailers. Pretty cool, isn’t it?

Some people see old stuff and furniture as nothing but a piece of junk. They often throw away stuff that isn’t of use anymore. Others see it as a reusable item to be innovated and improved. For them, old items and furniture can be transformed into something new and functional.

Fred Cote is a resident of British Columbia, Canada, who purchased a horse trailer from the 1970s in order to turn it into a camper trailer.

The project took many days to finish, but it was all worth it! The new camper trailer was everything we wanted it to be. It was cute, cozy, and eco-friendly!

Fred wanted to have a cozy camper trailer, but it was just too expensive. So, he purchased an old horse trailer and repurposed the rundown yellow bumper into a beautiful camper trailer.

The horse trailer used to be in a sorry state. The sides were rusting, the paint was wearing off, and it looked like it was about to fall apart.

That’s okay because it was about to get better. The once rusted and beat-up trailer will definitely look unrecognizable after the transformation.

Fred quickly got to work. He completely gutted the inside of the trailer and framed it. He also added insulation to the walls to keep it cool inside.

After working tirelessly for hours and days, Fred was able to transform the 1970s horse trailer into a canary yellow camper!

Yes, there’s a hidden toilet underneath the bench.

The dining section can also be transformed into a sleeping area! Just fold the bench, and it will turn into a queen-size bed.
