Howdy,  I'm getting close to making a LARGE purchase on a S'downer 4H Sierra 8010 & wondering if there are any negatives experienced by ya'll.  For example has anyone had a length issue due to the shorter floor in horse area w/mangers and fender on butt wall or any overall quality issues.  Would GREATLY appreciate your positive and negative experiences!   Many Thanks!!!!

I have a 1997 two horse Sundowner slant with the mangers and I love it.  Mine is all aluminum and it's still like new. Yes, there is not quite as much room with those built-in mangers, so it wouldn't be a good trailer for very large horses, but my Quarter horses fit just fine. If I were to buy another one, I probably would just use the removable corner feeders and not the built-in mangers. Yes, there is a lot of debate about those mangers. My horses are quite compact and they seem comfortable even though they have less space then most trailers.

As far as quality, I think Sundowner makes a wonderful product, although a bit pricey. You do pay for the name, but you also get great resale value out of it. I think there are a lot of comparable trailers out there for a little better price, but then you do lose a little in the resale value. I searched and researched trailers for a good six months before I decided on my used Sundowner. I was in the market for a used trailer and this one ended up being the best value for my money. Good luck to you!
