what are the end tables that turn into dining tables called?

Summer

I saw this large end table in a thrift store and it had spring like things that held the top up so it doubled as a dining room table. Does anyone know where to find these online? Or what they are technically called? Thanks a bunch!

Hi, There are convertible dining tables here http://www.amazon.com/gp/search?ie=UTF8&keywords=convertible%20dining%20tables&tag=recommended0b-20&index=garden&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325 Hope this helps.

How much would you guess a 3 horse steel living quarters trailer weighs?

Destiny

A solid steel, 3 horse trailer with living quarters. BIG trailer, probably 30ft long. Horse area around 7x7 or maybe a little bigger.

If any of you have steel trailers and could make a weight guess, I just want to get a ballpark idea.

How much would it weigh empty? How much would you say it would weigh with three horses, loaded water tanks, and camping gear?

Answer
Did a brief google, and found 3 which look like aluminum:

10,400 pounds: http://sandwfeeds.com/gooseneck-horse-trailers/lq-horse-trailer-for-sale-43567.html

http://sandwfeeds.com/2-horse-trailers/2-horse-exiss-lq-trailer-for-sale-43685.html

14,000 pounds: http://sandwfeeds.com/3-horse-trailers/3-horse-lq-trailer-for-sale-44304.html

An all steel model will be substantially heavier. Even these trailers are too heavy to be pulled by a pickup truck, and would need a special truck for hauling. Even a 3/4 or 1 ton pickup cannot safely haul these weights.

You would also have to add weight for:

3 people (500 pounds)
3 horses (3,000 pounds)
gear/water/etc. (1,000 pounds)

That would be my rough guesstimate.


Edit: Found another interesting website

http://www.nyshc.org/currentissues/CDL%20Requirements%20for%20Horse%20Trailers.pdf

that says:

"TABLE OF GVW AND TRAILER WEIGHT COMBINATIONS
TOW VEHICLE AND TRAILER COMBINATIONS
GVWRâS FOR PICKUPS (CHEVY USED FOR ILLUSTRATION)
1500 SERIES (Known as ½ ton) 7000 lbs
2500 SERIES (Known as 3/4 ton) 8600 lbs
3500 SERIES (Known as 1 ton) 11,400 lbs

TRAILER WEIGHTS

The weights shown here are from Double D Trailers in North Carolina. I use them because the trailer they make is made of steel and are heavyweight trailers.

I also have used the tack room style or living quarters style because they are the heaviest. If someone is using a pure stock trailer, it will be lighter in weight.

2 Horse Trailer with Tack Room 4400 lbs
3 Horse Trailer with Tack Room 5100 lbs
4 Horse Trailer with Tack Room 5500 lbs
3 Horse Trailer with Living Quarters * 11,500 lbs

*This is a monster, fully equipped.

Combination weights

Normal situation.
2500 Pickup plus 3 horse trailer plus 3 horses
8600 + 5100 + 3300 = 17,000 lbs

Extreme Case
3500 Pickup plus 3 horse with LQ plus 3 horses
11,400 + 11,500 + 3300 = 26,200"

This is from the New York Farm Board, which should be a good source.
