I bought a 2000 3 horse GN - Monarch model ( their upscale model) I had it for 5 years and used it ALOT. In that 5 years, I replaced a couple of marker lights and had to repair a small broken weld on one of my cat walks. ( from driving down so many wash board forest service dirt roads.) The rumber flooring looked as good after 5 years as it did when I bought the trailer new. I sold it for a couple thousand dollars less than I paid 5 years earlier. Very good resale. I bought a classic bunkhouse in 2005. This is a 3 horse with a weekender package. In 5 years they have changed a few things. They use better doors today for the LQ or DR than they did 2000. Switches for lights are better integrated into the trailer than the old one. The storage area for the built in Jiffy Jack is still to tight of a fit and I don't care for the current jack they installed on my 2005. But for the most part they make a GREAT trailer for a very competitive price. I picked my trailer up at the factory and got to take a tour. As mentioned above the trailer is all aluminum except for the hitch and jack. They make their own insulated fiberglass roof. It is a one piece fiberglass that covers the entire roof. No leaks and the insulation keeps out the heat. Rumber planks on floor and rumber sheets on the lower wall panels. Lots of flush mount lights, tie rings. Lots of options, awnings, stainless nose, managers, mid vs rear tack etc. Disadvantages. They only have 10 dealers. So there are not a lot of places to buy. Dealers are selling them as fast as they get them. So you usually can't look at in stock trailers. Nor will they dicker very much, since they can't keep up with demand. I have not looked at their entry level trailers. Their "Westerner". So my comments are about the Monarch and Bunkhouse models. |
