1- how do you know if your getting a decent price or what to offer on a trailer.
I don't think there is a blue book on horse trailers like there are on cars. 

Hands down this site is the best place to determine price, or what to offer on a similar trailer.

2- for those of you that have new trailswest trailers how do you like them.
I have on 01 that has been many many miles but we had lots of trouble with it when we 1st bought it-now it's rusting-

3- how do you decide what size trailer you need, 3-4 horse etc,
I have been hauling 2 to run and have another one that I will be hauling some next year. I'm thinking a 4 horse then if somone else wants to haul with me or I need a space for extra storage I've always got an extra stall.

I have a three horse trailer and most of the time I am only hauling one horse. I put hay and "stuff" in the front stall and if I'm stalling overnight a wheelbarrow goes in the last stall.   I have a midtack also, and know many people use the first stall as a midtack.  I would always want one more stall than horses I am hauling.  So if you will be hauling three regularly, I'd want a 4 horse trailer.  

4- How do you that have a dressing room that is insulated like it? Does it stay warm and cool?

If I had just a dressing room I'd want it insulated.  My non-lq trailer would get condensation in the dressing room in cold weather, and got very hot in hot weather.   Depends on how much time you will be spending in it.  If you plan on camping in it, then absolutely yes you will want it insulated.  If you are hauling to day shows, probably not such a big deal.
