Just bought a 1993, trails west, sierra 2, 3 horse slant bumper pull. It is a WB size. It is covered in rust and will need new skins for sure, new hinges, handles/locks on tack rooms. Has some fender damage as well. I need help finding skins for it or an alternative to skins, what locking door handles to use and so on. Any info/ advice would be wonderful, I am all ears. Been a horse owner for 8 years and this is my first trailer, Money is tight so easiest, cheapest way is best for now.

You can find many materials and expertise at fabrication shops. They are experts and have access to the materials you will need in your renovation. They can pre-form the panels and cut materials to size, difficult procedures to attempt without access to expensive, industrial machinery.

where in Co. are you located? excellent parts source in Canon City, if the trailer is rusty and not eaten through it sounds to me like a sand blast job and paint is in order and that is not near as expensive as replacing parts. hinges and door locks are had at about any rv dealer if you do not want to order them.
