Does anyone know the website for the manufacturer? We got a older one that is a 4 horse slant and want to do a conversion in the front to make it into a living quarters.

They have no website.They're closed.
I had a Wrangler trailer that I sold this past summer.I managed to get in touch with one of the former owners to trace down a door latch on the dressing room door.I had to call another trailer manufacturer here in Arkansas to find out who the owner was,and,called them at their home.I don't know who it was now.I just know they told me they'd closed their doors about 6 months earlier.
This website lists an address and phone # for them,can't guarantee this is a working # but you might try it and see what happens.They were in Quitman,AR

Thank you, oh and I was wrong on the year it is a 1979 wrangler 4H GN trailer, we measured it today. total length is 29 ft, with 22' total floor space, 6' wide, fenders on the outside, 4' short wall, 9' long wall with 2 1/2' door way, the slanted solid wall (between front and horse area) is 8' long. It is in fairly good shape for the year and being a all steel trailer. It has a 14,000 GVW and my 1/2 ton dodge ram pulls it like it is not even there.
With doing a conversion we want to make the front into a living quarters, and added a door in the wall that divides the horses from the front. There is room in the back on the end to add a tack section. But I want to move one of the slants back (it actually holds 5 horses slanted) and make a bathroom with tack area between the wall and first front slant. We have done conversions on other trailers, even done them where we made straight loads into slant loads and added other things.

Well,good luck.Our Wrangler was built really well.I had no problem with it during the short time (1 yr) we owned it,and,certainly had no problem selling it and recouping my money back.

I was thinking the same thing but didn't say it.I've forgotten what ours weighed empty and don't have a copy of the title but, loaded with 4 horses,it was not light even though it is a nice towing steel trailer.We pulled ours with a Dually (not because we had to) it,but,I would not have wanted to pull it with anything less than 3/4T.We tried that with a 3H steel Towlite and a 1/2T.wasn't a good thing.
