Location: Georgia
I have an '03 4-Star,3H slant with 2'SW, 18' box. I've been looking for a 2H with a week-end package. Prices haven't quite worked out yet. If I take my trailer and move the wall back ($1000 appx), it would give me enough room for a bare bones overnighter. Would I devalue my trailer going to a 2H with 5'SW? I looked through the ads and trying for a comparison always seemed apples and oranges.

I wouldn't worry about resale, either sell it before you alter it, trade it and spend a lot more money for one that will work for you or move the wall and build it like you want..... It's a 4 Star, other than setting it on fire there's not much you can do to bring the value down..... Looks like the used 4 Star trailers go UP every day. Been looking at used 4 Star LQ trailers, should have bought one ten years ago, same trailer is the same price used today as it was new then.

Move the wall only if you keep it forever. It will trash resale. That horse door (escape or feed) that will end up in your dressing room throws everything off.

if you are going to sell it I wouldn't alter it, but if you keep it by all means. just seems like a waste of time, money, and effort to change it if you aren't going to keep it anyways.
