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

table camping double image

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!

Answer

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.

djbnzdobsd

who has had the opportunity to travel to hawaii ?
how was the trip? i really hope to travel to hawaii .sometime.
well just curious from what people thought who got to vistied.thanx.

Answer
I have had the greatest pleasure traveling to Oahu Hi with my husband and our son. We three have been there six times and have stayed at the Pacific Beach Hotel four out of the six times.
We have never been to any of the other islands, but there is the Hawaiisuperferry now, so we might get on that on our next visit and go to either Kauai or Maui. Just to see what they are like.
The trips were fantastic!! Diamond Head in the movies and then to see it for real in person is a site to see!!
The rainbows are just drop dead gorgeous, while the wift of plumeria flowers send their sent along with the tradewinds while you listen to Hawaiian music!!
The Navatek 1 Sunset Buffet Dinner Cruise is fantastic!! The vessel runs soooo smooth that you can carry your plate to the table without a mishap!!
And nothing can compare as to hearing "Blue Hawaii" from the Elvis impressionist at the Waikiki Beachcomber Hotel!!
Need I say more???????
I love Hawaii and the people that I have had the pleasure to meet!!

Places to get Engaged?

Mike Paige

Can you name three nice places of witch I can ask my Girlfriend to marry me. She knows its coming but doesn't know when.

Answer
Congratulation! I think its so romantic when two people knows they belong together. Now you want 3 places so you can take your girlfriend and ask for her hand. I do not know what state you are in, but my number choice is the island of Oahu. Yes that is my hometown and Hawaii is the most alluring, romantic place a girl can get engage. But if money is the problem, (I know plane ticket) you can pick a beach, take her and make sure the two of you will have dinner for 2 away from people or crowds. Second place could be a dinner cruise, 2 hours of being in the water having dinner during sunset. And the 3rd will be the old fashion way if you wanted it, plan a night with her, at your place. Put together a romantic dinner for two, with lots of candles lite, soft music, maybe with wine? To add more love with that dinner you will put together, scatter red roses petals all over the floor where you will set the table for two and from there you will know what to do. Reminder please, no cell phone, no tv, only soft music..Good luck!
