Snowing indoors?


   I had an inquiry a couple weeks ago asking about how to keep snow from blowing in during the MN winters.  My suggestion was (Although I didn't use it because my daughter thought it would look s-t-u-p-i-d...   This is foam pipe insulation sold at Lowes or Home Depot in lengths of about 6 ft.  It's alredy slotted to slip over a pipe, so you can just snap it over the hatch door edges and help close some of that extra space.

I'm not certain that it is durable enough to last more than one season, or to stay in place when traveling, but it's cheap enough that replacing it wouldn't be painful.  

Happy Trails!   Jeff

Dusty question?

Question from one of our readers:   

On another topic, if anyone has any ideas on how to cut down the amount of dust that gets inside the trailer, I would appreciate the help!  It seems that these trailers were designed for use on European paved roads only, because my horse always looks like a large flour bag exploded in there with him after going down only a couple of miles of dry gravel road, which is not ideal for his lungs.  This happens even with the windows closed and the back flap up, as there is still a significant gap around the top flap that seems to create some kind of suction for road dust. I also tried it with the window open, to try to create airflow from front to back, but that did not help at all either.   I am considering trying to figure out how I could put a furnace filter in the window, so there is still some air flow, but I don't know what to do about the back.
 
Thanks!
