Side view of Baron L SL
We have good news. The Barons
were Brenderup's largest models, but they're no longer
offered. What's good about that? The Barons
have been replaced by the Baron L
models, which have 5 inch longer stalls.
Baron L models are recommended for horses to about 18
hands.
As before, there are 3 variants -
TC, SL and HB. The Baron L TC
features Brenderup's patented InstaTack dressing room.
During travel, the InstaTack is a Tack
Compartment (hence the TC
designation). When you arrive at your destination,
simply raise the flip-up lid and the InstaTack becomes a
standing height dressing room with saddle racks, bridle
hooks and a blanket bar. The Baron L SL
also has the InstaTack, but with a twist, or more
accurately, a slide. When the horses are off the
trailer, you can SLide the SL wall back to the
chest bar, expanding the dressing room to approximately
6 feet. The third Baron L model is the HB,
as in “Horse Box,” a popular European term
for horse trailer. The Baron L HB doesn’t have a
dressing room wall, but like the other Barons, it does
have saddle racks, bridle hooks and a blanket bar.
As we often say in our
ads, you don't need a truck to tow a Brenderup. A
significant feature of the Baron L SL & TC is that they
are dressing room trailers with loaded tongue
weights of approximately 250 lbs. For
comparison, a conventional (domestic) dressing
room trailer will typically carry about 13-15% of its
weight on the hitch, which usually works out to
about 700-900 lbs. The lighter
tongue weight is one of the reasons a Baron L, and
Brenderups in general, can be towed safely by smaller
vehicles. The low-drag shape also contributes to
the easy-towing nature of a Brenderup. We've towed
Brenderups in quite gusty conditions, and they've always
behaved beautifully. We’ve heard similar comments
from our customers. The excellent handling is due
in part to the aerodynamic shape and in part to the
chassis design, which features toe-in and camber to aid
stability. Brenderups have been in production for
over 50 years and have been on sale in the U.S. for over
20 years, so the design is well proven on roads all over
the world.
We're showing the Baron L SL in
these pictures. The exterior appearance of the
Baron L TC is nearly identical (the only difference is
the decal indicating the model name). Both the TC
and SL feature 2 doors on each side for easy access to
the horse area or dressing room.
Since the HB doesn’t have a
dressing room wall, a single wide door on each
side provides access to both horses and tack.
We've included two views of the SL
dressing room, showing the wall in both the forward and
rear (expanded) positions. When the SL dressing
room wall is forward, the dressing room is the same size
as that of the TC. Release a few latches, give a
gentle push, and the SL wall glides back about 3 feet
(stopping just in front of the chest bar), giving you a
huge dressing room. It's so large that some folks
have camped in their SL dressing rooms rather than
setting up tents.
Those of you who have trailered may be
wondering, “Residues often accumulate on a trailer
floor. Is the SL wall mechanism likely to get
clogged?” And the answer is, “No.” There are
no tracks in the floor. The bottom of the sliding
wall rides on small caster wheels. The left and right
ends of the wall are supported by roller tracks mounted
just above the side doors, well above anything that may
have accumulated on the floor. In typical
Brenderup fashion, the SL sliding wall mechanism is
simple, reliable and easy to use.
As on the other 2 horse Brenderups,
the Baron L series features a body width of 65
inches and interior height of approximately 7'4".
The unitized construction and smooth walls of the
Brenderup produce comfortable stall widths while
reducing the overall width (and less width means lower
drag & better fuel economy). Where the other
Brenderup models (including the old Barons) have a 7'
stall length, the Baron L series has a stall length of
about 7'5". As with the old Baron models, the
Baron L series has 65 inches of stretch out space
forward of the chest bar. And because the Baron L
carries its full width all the way to the front, there's
even more room than in the other models.
Every Brenderup comes with a high level of
standard equipment. Baron L models feature 3
height adjustments on butt and chest bars, 5-way opening
windows, galvanized kick panels, smooth-riding torsion
axles with shock absorbers (you won't find those on most
trailers!), bright & reliable LED tail and marker lights
and much more. A few years ago, Brenderup even added
tiebacks for the doors. Older Brenderups were very
well equipped, but lacked door tiebacks. No more
bungee cords to hold the doors open!
You may have noticed that the back
of the Baron L is vertical, rather than angled as on the
other Brenderup models. The Baron L features
stiffened floor side rails to deal with the greater
length, and this dictated the change at the rear of the
trailer. It's still a low-drag, aerodynamic design that
pulls with the ease you expect from Brenderup.
Baron L models feature Solid Phenolic Core (SPC) walls and a fiberglass roof.
SPC is extremely durable, and because the walls are
about 1/2" thick, there's little heat or sound
transmission. All Brenderup models feature tough,
low-maintenance galvanized steel frames and Inertia
brakes. Inertia brakes feature a clever and simple
design that's been in use for quite some time.
Inertia brakes apply braking force in proportion to the
load in the trailer and there's no need to adjust a
brake controller in the vehicle. In fact, you
don't even need a brake controller!
We invite you to visit Traveled
Lane to see our great selection of Brenderups.
We’ve been selling and servicing Brenderups since 1996
and we even offer test drives!
