Equi-Trek Night-Treka

The Night-Treka is Equi-Trek’s rear-facing two-horse trailer built specifically around overnight stays, with a genuine living area rather than a fold-out bench: convertible bunks, a sink, a gas hob and a fold-down table that sleep two people. Rear-facing loading is a deliberate choice some owners and horses prefer over forward-facing – it is worth trying both orientations with your own horse before assuming one is better, since individual horses often have a strong preference either way.

Construction follows Equi-Trek’s wood-free approach: composite panelling over a galvanised chassis, which means the living area’s cabinetry and the horse area’s walls are both built to resist the rot and swelling that eventually affects timber-framed trailers, particularly relevant given how much moisture a living area sees from cooking, washing and general use.

It is available in 2,500kg or 3,000kg GVM configurations, and this choice matters more than it might seem: the higher-rated version can carry more overall weight (bigger horses, fuller water tanks, more gear) but needs a correspondingly more capable tow vehicle and, depending on the combination weight, potentially a different driver’s licence code. Work out realistically which GVM you need before ordering rather than defaulting to the larger option.

For South African buyers planning genuine overnight trips – regional shows, clinics, cross-country hauls – the Night-Treka’s living area is a real alternative to booking accommodation or towing a separate caravan. Confirm current GVM configuration, pricing and exact fit-out for the unit in stock.

Because the Night-Treka carries a fitted living area, it is worth keeping the build documentation alongside your standard South African trailer licensing – a trailer licence disc is required regardless of GVM configuration, and having clear paperwork on the living conversion can matter later for insurance cover and resale value on a trailer this specialised.

Talk to us about which GVM and orientation suit your own horses before ordering – it is a five-minute conversation that avoids an expensive mismatch later.
