Truck with Campershell
Have you wanted to travel with your goats in a pickup but found it hard to load
them into the back of your pickup. I just found the perfect panels to use that require no tools
and take only minutes to install. I also use a 70" telescoping dog ramp.

As you can see by the pictures below, I put the panels upside down from how you use them in a car or SUV.

These are the only panels that have a gate that opens either direction. You can use 2 panels ( picture to the left)
and divide the back of your pickup so Bucks and Does can go to the show or
just use one panel and haul Does or bucks.
Now you can load your goats into the back of your truck with the tailgate down.
2 adult bucks fit on left side and 7 does or wethers on the right.
When loading into the left side, slide the telescoping ribs back in towards the gate,
load the goat past the wheelwell then slide the ribs back to the truckbed side.
Repeat this until you have your 2 goats loaded. For the side with the gate,
just open in and your goat will walk in. I like to use pine shavings for bedding the floor,
it's more absorbent than straw.

Haulmark Trailer customized for my goats.
 


6' wide by 10' long


I had my logo and information put on the side and rear of my trailer

Here is the power-supply I'm using to power the camera in the trailer while driving.
By using the power-supply, I don't have to wire the camera into the trailer wiring,
enabling me to use it in other locations. Camera uses either AC/DC power.
The power-supply powers the camera for up to 40 hrs before you need to recharge.

Stanchion, Ac power hookup & plugins, utility hooks for storing items above the goats.


I had the whole inside of the trailer Rhino Lined to protect the wood and ease of cleaning.
It was a spray on liner in a light cream color. No longer need mats down on the floors.

When I travel to shows, I might need fencing and netting to keep
bucks from does and babies from going through the pens. I used bungy ties
to hook the netting and fencing above the windows.


This area can be use to haul pregnant does, or mom's with new babies, or used as a tack area.


This is a Salem 2 way pop-out vent that you can open up either direction
for airflow into or out of the trailer. I have one towards the
front left side and a second towards the back on the opposite side.


I also have a roof vent and an inside doom light.


I  have a thermometer that reads inside and outside temps of the trailer.
 


Door organizer with two big zippered pockets on bottom and lots of
storage pockets above.Here is the link:

Also have lightweight steps for easy access.

The back gates are to keep goats in so unloading is easier
at the shows. Also works well as a temporary pen allowing me
to keep the doors open for more air circulation.

Here is a hay bag feeder for goats that's excellent!!!
I use this in both the trailer and show pens.

Here is the last item for the trailer. This is a lightweight folding aluminum cart.
It measures 55" long, 31" wide & 23" deep weighing 33 lbs.
Great for making less trips to get all the gear from trailer to pens and back.
