Location: Rocky Mount N.C. | LOL... I seen that trailer ad day before yesterday and thought to myself that it would look good sitting on our yard.... Just need a little stimulus fund to complete the purchase!! I can't climb up into the gooseneck so....I keep looking at that couch! Nick, that's going to be tough getting all of that trailer into a single shipping container!! |

Location: East London South Africa | Hey Gone It is great over here.....lots of space and more friendly people you will not get. Us South Africans are amoung the most hospitable people in the world.... It was really encouraging to see how well our elections went - no violence at all - and our Country seems to be on the up. I have a mate in LLC that is helping us sell hunting packages at a big hunting EXPO somewhere in the US. Not sure when it is, or where it is. I dont do the hunts, but a good buddy of mine has just started up and I am trying to help him get going...If you enjoy hunting, SA is the place to go. The exchange rate is on your side so costs are kept quite low and we have LOADS of game.... I will stick to Horses and trailers...especially the above one....although Dave McAdoo from Tobruk Trailers in TN just sent me some pics of a 37' LQ trailer with a Pieterbuilt horse for $165k that was rather nice....but hell for that price I could buy a farm over here....cool chatting Nick |

Location: Bucksport, Maine | I think it's weird that the living area is all done in shiny walnut and leather, but the bathroom is rusty corregated tin. Do they want to feel like they're slumming it when they visit the bathroom?  Also, is it some kind of backwards slant (head on left, but butt in front of head) configuration? There's only one ramp and it's on the SIDE... the head-left/butt-forward configuration is the only one I can see working. Is that the configuration that is normally referred to as "reverse slant"? I thought reverse slant had the head on the right. Am I wrong? |

Location: lyle,mn | Those long horn above the bed would give me nightmares. I would worry that the darn thing would fall down and gore me in my sleep. I got agree the rusty tin in the bathroom doesn't cut it. |

| Like a friend of mine says "the nicer the trailer, the less riding is done". I'd be afraid to walk in there with my boots on! |

Location: Southern Indiana | If you want to see a "slum" trailer Go to www.maintrailersales.com and look at the Sundowner Luxury Liner they have on the left side of the main page. I made the mistake of asking how much... 350.... three hundred and fifty THOUSAND! And its only a 3 horse.. But it comes with its own linen, silverware and dinnerware. I told them I would make them a deal.. I would trade them my 1991 WW 2 horse for it even up. But for some reason they turned the offer down.. Oh well |

The Elite trailer are built the way you are speaking of. Turnbow loads like this... http://www.turnbowtrailers.com/models/slantload/floorplans/two_Horse_reverse_slant.html So a slant load trailer other than, head forward, toward traffic, butt back and toward curb, would probably be considered a ...Reverse Slant. |

Location: East London South Africa | Got agree with the bathroom, but that could easily be fixed....and as for the horns...well at least you would have something to put the hand-cuffs onto.....lol hahahahha. I like the extra space at the back for leg boots, balnkets etc... |

I agree the interior is nice but what is up with the little refrigerator? Looks like it only has the 3.0 fridge. Like someone said already, it's a "man trailer"... So, if you're drinkin' Whiskey, you don't need much of a refridgerator!!! Oh, we're going to have to keep an eye on Barfly, after that comment about the bull horns and handcuffs!!  Going horse showin' this weekend, see ya'll, bye. |
