[Equihunter] WordPress just reminded me that on this date last year we opened up this blog account and started publishing and promoting our business… How time flies when you’re having fun.

Dusk with the Equihunter Endurance…..

Our 7.5 tonne range – The Equihunter Endurance

It’s been a good year on development and advancement, we’ve promoted some new ideas in design and build ….

Aerodynamic body
LPG powered generator, cooking, water heating, central heating
Superb luxurious fixtures and fittings
Practical in use
Realistic pricing unlike some of our competitors.

We’ve learnt a lot of lessons over the last 2 or 3 years when manufacturing the earlier versions of the Endurance, and we are going to build upon them in future builds so that we keep developing the brand, the design and listen to our customers requests.

Our 10 tonne range – The Equihunter Excalibur

There’s more to come as we’ve only just begun this quest….. as an example, see the new 12 tonne 4 horse, 6 berth Equihunter Excalibur in the design phase right now.

The Equihunter Excalibur – 4 stalls, 6 berths…..

Our 3.5 tonne range – The Equihunter Arena

Stalled for two, the Arena can carry a payload of over 1100 kilograms but can be driven by anyone holding a car license

The Equihunter Arena 3.5t Horsebox

The ‘Equihunter Arena‘ – A 3.5 tonne horsebox stalled for two horses

Stalled for two, the Arena can carry a payload of over 1100 kilograms but can be driven by anyone holding a car license.

The Arena can be built on a 3.5 tonne chassis from a Vauxhall Movana, a Renault Master or a Peugeot Boxer.

A combined ramp & access door is split horizontally, this allows for easier loading and unloading in cramped venue conditions, the shorter fully assisted ramp easily lowers into position with the top door swinging up out of the way. Both halves are powered by powerful gas rams that allow for a seamless operation.

My thanks goes to my partners at UK Coachworks Dave Elliot (The Builder), to Graham Allen (The Craftsman), to Luke Allen (The Graphics Wizard) at EKUL Productions and also to animal snapper extraordinaire John Jefferies at Shadow Photography, some of John’s Photoset taken at the Felbridge Show Ground last Saturday can be seen here ……

Couldn’t have done it without you guys… THANK YOU.

Let’s hope the next 12 months are just as exciting.

Fancy a Cuppa…. The Dometic CC11 – An LPG Powered Twin Burner Ceramic Cooktop: Equihunter

[Equihunter] When designing the EQUIHUNTER ENDURANCE it was important for us to maintain a look of a continuous working area in the kitchen area. Not only was this to maximise the amount of flat surface to work on during food and drinks preparation, but also we wanted to enhance the clean cut lines of the entire interior of this exclusive Horsebox.

Forget Diesel powered cooking, with fuel prices as high as ever it’s only going to get more and more expensive. On the other hand, LPG is half the price and has far lower harmful Co2 emissions.

The Dometic Ceramic LPG Gas Hob in black

So rather than choose from the myriad of aluminium hobs available in the leisure vehicle marketplace, we decided to opt for a more expensive solution but one that was just the ticket in terms of design.

So we chose from the Dometic range, a cooktop that was powered by LPG but fired up via a 12 volt electrical system. This unit originally designed for the marine industry fitted our requirements perfectly.

Dometic CC 11: high-tech for the mobile kitchen

It couldn’t be more efficient: the new Dometic CC 11 ceramic cooktop operates on a special principle that makes cooking more fun and reduces the gas consumption at the same time. Each hotplate of the black or white ceramic cooktop has a simmering plate behind it which is heated by the flue gas from the burner in front.

This allows cooking in two pans with only one burner turned on.
The bottom-line is a total of four easy-to-use cooking areas consuming only 210 grams of gas per operating hour at a generous heat output of 1.6 or 1.3 kilowatts.

The highly efficient burners on the Dometic CC 11 are ignited via the 12-volt vehicle electrics. It takes them just 7.5 minutes to boil a litre of water.

Installation is facilitated by the fact that there’s no chimney required

Mobile technology specialist Dometic has developed the CC 11 gas operated ceramic cooktop as a convenient upgrade version to replace the company’s best-selling gas hob, Dometic PI 8023.

The Dometic CC 11 has the same built-in dimensions and can be retrofitted with minimal effort. Its frameless, bevelled glass surface fits perfectly flush with the surrounding worktop and is very easy to clean. Installation is facilitated by the fact that there’s no chimney required.

Last but not least, a reliable hot surface indicator makes for safe operation.
