🌧️ Stay Dry on the Road 🛻

Bad weather during a trip? No problem! We’ve got a couple of handy solutions to help you stay dry and comfortable:

▪️Add a custom-built awning to your build for extra shelter.
▪️Or go for a drop-down protective canvas door at the back of the horse area. It’s a great way to create a separate indoor space so you can relax without tracking muddy boots and wet gear into the living area.

A little extra protection can make all the difference on those rainy days!
