My America's Best Dog Trailer
Ok guys I know that I had a lot of trouble with my AB trailer and I had to basically rebuild it to make it safe and usable but I am finally just about done and thought6 I would share some pictures. They are sending me the solar fan that was supposed to be on it and I am doing a couple of other things to get more air in the trailer but she is about finished. I insulated it with these mats I found at wally world that are made for going under exercise equipment and are very dense foam.

I have a solar fan coming plus more vents for the side and the insulation I put in keeps it pretty cool. It was 98 here today and I crawled in around 3 this afternoon so I could see how hot it was really wasn't uncomfortable, so when your moving it should be fine. I pulled it for about 75 miles with the dogs in it the other day up top a lake so they could swim and when we got home they weren't even panting. I am ok with the safety for my dogs wouldn't do it if I thought I would hurt them.

dub I honestly don't hardly even know it's back there. Tee I respect your opinion but I am recently widowed and if I didn't have the trailer and take the dogs I wouldn't be able to do any distance traveling.

My condolences on your recent loss of your wife. I lost both my father and father in law within the last month so I can relate to where you're coming from. I respect what your saying Santa Jim. I really do. If the temps stay where you're not endangering the dogs then god bless. Please be cautious to not overheat your best freinds. I love my Labs as well as others dogs and hate to see them endangered.

I think that's a cool set up Jim wish had mentioned that when met you out in AZ .. I have no worries that your dogs are in fine shape with it ... Bet they love the ride as well ..
Just thought would add this picture My Doggies all greeted me at the Gate when got back home from the AZ trip ...

Jay glad you made it home safe and sound my brother and I'll bet your doggies were glad to see you. As far and this is for all who have viewed this post the trailer and the dogs. I assure you I would never do anything to harm my best friends. I spent 15 years as a professional dog trainer and have carried retrievers in a dog truck a trailer and those crates in the back of trucks and I guarantee you those crates in the back of trucks will do more harm than this trailer, I have insulated and am still getting as much air flow as needed to keep them cool and they love being with me so I will do what is needed to keep them comfortable.
